Budget.
The word is cringe-worthy for many compliance industry professionals. As budgets continue to get smaller, it becomes more and more difficult to secure funding for any items not identified as mission critical by company execs.
Educational conferences are an excellent example of critical items often left out come budget time. While costs vary by conference, the benefits of attending are numerous. On December 3rd, Assent Compliance and Tetra Tech are partnering to offer a Conflict Mineral and Ethical Sourcing Workshop in Chicago. Networking with industry professionals, learning about new regulations and implementation strategies, and discussing innovative solutions are just some key takeaways attendees can expect. These are all things that will have a positive impact on your compliance program, including improved efficiency and possible cost-savings.
Understanding that, we have built a document you can use to assist your efforts in securing funding not only for our upcoming conference on December 3rd, but other industry conferences throughout the year. The document outlines tangible benefits, cost breakdowns and ways in which you can leverage that information to help secure funding for the conference(s) of your choice.
It’s impossible to attend every conference, but prioritizing the one(s) that best fit your needs, and attending at least one of those each year is a key part of any successful compliance program. Consider that the compliance landscape is one that is always changing. The best way to stay ahead of the curve is to attend one or more of these industry events.
