SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- Aug 27, 2013 -- The EDA Consortium (EDAC) is presenting a seminar on U.S. export regulations at its San Jose headquarters on September 18, 2013. Larry Disenhof, group director, Export Compliance and Government Relations at Cadence Design Systems, and the chairman of the EDAC Export Committee, will share his knowledge of the current state of U.S. export regulations.

All exports from the United States of EDA software and services are controlled under the Export Administration Regulations, administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). Failure to comply with export regulations can result in severe penalties including imprisonment.

"You are held liable for compliance to the regulations whether or not you know them, thus the Government considers training to be a key element of any export compliance program," said Larry Disenhof. "This 90-minute seminar will include new and updated information on worldwide export regulations affecting your company, the EDA industry, and our customers."

The seminar is a joint-effort of the EDAC Export Committee and its Emerging Companies Committee, and is being offered at no charge to all employees of EDAC member companies to provide the latest information on compliance regulation and best practices.
