HS Regulatory Briefing

The Roberts Law Group is holding their 3rd Annual Homeland Security Regulatory Briefing in Houston, TX next month. This annual symposium looks at federal rules for CFATS, MTSA, Rail Hazmat, and HM 232. They bring together experts to look at how these regulations are being implemented and how that impacts compliance. Additionally, they will look at legislation that is currently being considered in Congress to update and extend these security regulations. Luncheon is sponsored by ADT Advanced Integration. There will be three separate panel discussions featuring experts from industry. They will be looking at:

• Current Issues in Security Compliance for the Chemical and Petrochemical Sector • The Operational and Functional Implications of Security Compliance for the Chemical and Petrochemical Sector • Implementing Security Enhancements at the Facility Level

This one-day meeting will run from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm CDT on May 26th, 2010. It will be held at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Houston, TX.

I haven’t been able to attend one of these briefings yet, but I did receive some positive feedback last year from a reader about the first one. As always, I would certainly like to hear from readers about their experience with these briefings. The subject matter and the panels look to be interesting. And for the Texas lawyers in the audience, the Texas Bar has approved 6 CLE Credits for attending this briefing; that alone would be worth the $95 fee.
