"The FEI network has compiled a lineup of relevant, influential, and experienced leaders responsible for defining, analyzing, and enacting the regulations. Having access to these individuals as they unpack some of the more complex matters posed to the industry should prove invaluable to professionals working within government environments."

"Executives responsible for adhering to these requirements are most effective when engaging with and learning alongside colleagues facing the same challenges. Hence, we've strategically developed a one-day agenda addressing the more complex initiatives we're asked to implement. The topics will be presented in digestible formats to encourage discussion and effective learning so that attendees can walk away with useful actionable tactics."
