Join us for an evening of holiday cheer, good company, and a little intrigue at one of Washington, D.C.’s most distinctive venues.
This year’s celebration marks more than the holiday season — it also launches the beginning of SIA’s 60th Anniversary Year.
For six decades, SIA has brought together professionals across the international trade community to learn, connect, collaborate, and lead.
We’re kicking off this milestone year in true SIA style — with great food, cocktails, festive conversation, and a setting made for a little mystery.
Guests will enjoy the evening at the International Spy Museum, with access to the museum exhibits and plenty of time to reconnect with colleagues and friends.

AGENDA WILL BE POSTED AS SOON AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE
Join SIA at the 2027 Virtual Back to Basics Conference - an important first step to learning about how to export articles on the United States Munitions List (USML) and the Commerce Control List (CCL) and the associated defense services and technology.
This conference has been reorganized to provide an improved learning experience for online learning. The SIA Back to Basics Conference is ideal for newcomers (less than 5 years of experience) to export licensing, as they will be provided with a step-by-step guide to using the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Emphasis will be placed on panels that cover the license application process and the requirements for submitting licenses to the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) as well as to the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) for review and approval. Attendees will hear firsthand from U.S. Government speakers about procedures and policies governing the export license process while becoming familiar with the various types of licenses, agreements, exemptions and exceptions and the requirements and conditions associated with each.
Cancellation requests must be sent in writing to sia@siaed.org by Friday, February 19, 2027 to be eligible for a refund. There will be a $35 fee for all cancellations and bank returned checks.
Refunds will not be provided for cancellation requests received after Friday, February 19, 2027.
If a technical failure at the attendee’s home or workplace prevents access to the live webinar, refunds will not be made. Please log into the event at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the event.
