New Era. New Rules.
Straight from the Source.

The regulations are public. The reasoning behind them isn't. Join us September 23–25 at the W Hotel, Dallas, for an exclusive in-person summit bringing Federal Firearms Licensees face to face with ATF and FBI — plus the industry's top compliance experts, technology providers, and attorneys — for the conversation a Federal Register notice can't give you: what changed, who decided it, how it'll be enforced, and why. The sweeping changes reshaping FFL recordkeeping, NFA processes, and federal enforcement — explained by the people who wrote them, in a room where you can ask.

More Than the Memo

It's not a broadcast.
It's a conversation.

Anyone can hand you the new rule. Only this room gives you the people behind it — and the chance to ask.

What

What changed.

The new regulations, the new 4473, the new enforcement framework. The part you can read anywhere.

Read it anywhere
Who

Who wrote it.

The ATF Director, Chief Counsel, and the FBI — in the room, taking your questions by name.

How

How it's enforced.

How a provision actually gets applied in the field — exactly where FFLs get tripped up.

Why

Why it changed.

The intent and enforcement priority behind the change, so you know where the agency is looking.

Why The Briefing

Everything is changing.
Here's what it means for you.

It doesn't get more direct. The ATF Director opens. Chief Counsel walks the 34 rule changes line by line. The FBI's in the room. New regulations, a new 4473, new enforcement priorities, new eForms requirements — explained by the people who made the decisions, in a room where you can ask.

The ATF Director. In the Room.

Hear directly from ATF Director Rob Cekada on the agency's current direction, regulatory changes, and relationship with the FFL community.

34 Rule Changes. Explained by ATF's Chief Counsel.

Chief Counsel Robert Leider breaks down the key rule changes affecting FFL operations — and takes your questions on what they mean in practice.

The New 4473, New Enforcement Policy, and What It Means at the Counter.

Understand what changed on the form, in the transfer process, and in day-to-day compliance expectations.

Ask Your Most Pressing Questions. Directly.

Bring your toughest compliance questions and get answers from the government speakers themselves — in open Q&A, not a consultant's interpretation after the fact.

The Rules Changed. Here's How to Stay Ahead.

Get current on new regulations, forms, and enforcement priorities so your business knows what to expect.

NFA, eForms & SOT: The Current State.

Get the latest on NFA operations, eForms, and SOT requirements from speakers who know the current landscape.

Critical NICS Updates from the FBI.

FBI Special Agent Eric Moore covers key NICS updates and what FFLs need to know about the transfer workflow.

The Right Tools. In One Place.

Meet technology and compliance providers offering tools for A&D, digital 4473, legal coverage, and FFL operations.

Confirmed Speakers

The people making decisions about your license

The people who wrote the rules — plus the experts and attorneys who help you act on them. Not a stage to watch from the back row; a room where you ask and they answer.
