    Thank you for making our first Sanctions Space Summit a success

    Over two days 50+ thought leaders came together to examine the complex global sanctions situation on a thematic level.

    We were joined by a stellar line-up from organisations such as OFAC, The White House, the European Council on Foreign Relations, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, The European Leadership Network and some of the world’s largest financial institutions to learn about what lies ahead.

    Our global sanctions community united. See you next year!
