Since its inception in 2014, the Firearms Industry Conference (FIC) has sought to educate firearms industry professionals on critical, timely and relevant topics impacting FFLs and their operation. With more than 1,500 attendees trained, co-hosts Orchid and Williams Mullen’s Firearms Industry Group are excited to deliver a new comprehensive agenda for FIC 2022.
As in years past, this year’s main conference will feature two days (April 26–27) of educational sessions, roundtable discussions and keynotes led by industry leadership, federal agency executives, expert attorneys and technology specialists. Sessions are divided into three learning tracks: Firearm Industry Law & Finance, FFL Compliance, and FFL Technology.
