National Forum on FARA 2026

The forum takes place at Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Washington DC.

The organizer lists in-house legal and compliance teams, government affairs and public policy professionals, outside counsel, and public affairs, communications, public relations, and strategic communications firms.

It is most useful for in-house legal and compliance teams, outside counsel and government affairs or communications firms that handle foreign agent registration questions, since the speakers include a Department of Justice counterintelligence official, a House Select Committee on China staff director and partners from firms such as Mayer Brown and Morrison & Foerster. Professionals with no FARA exposure would get less from it, because the program is narrowly about foreign influence risk for communications firms, advocacy groups and institutions.

Lawyers and compliance professionals at legal conferences in Washington, DC usually wear business formal, such as suits.
