Orchid Advisors Joins as Silver Sponsor of Import/Export Conference

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms industry, is pleased to announce that Orchid Advisors has signed on as a Silver Sponsor for the upcoming Import/Export Conference. A management consultancy firm focusing on operational efficiencies, profitability and compliance within the firearms industry, Orchid Advisors is an NSSF-endorsed Compliance Information Provider.

Taking place August 4-5 in Washington, D.C., the NSSF and FAIR Trade Group Import/Export Conference gathers industry professionals to discuss the many compliance issues facing today’s U.S. firearms and accessory makers negotiating the complexities involved in doing business with other countries.

“Orchid Advisors has once again stepped up to the plate in partnering with NSSF to ensure our members benefit from forums that foster an exchange of ideas and illustrate the avenues of success that will better enable them to succeed in today’s highly competitive firearms industry,” said Melissa Schilling, NSSF Director, Exhibitions and Conferences.

“We are pleased to sponsor the event and continue our role as a leading provider of operational compliance solutions for the firearms industry,” said Jon Rydberg, Orchid Advisor CEO. “Keeping abreast of the import/export regulatory environment is very important, but that’s only half of the battle. Participants of the Import/ Export Conference can draw upon our expertise when it comes time to benchmark or implement what they will learn here.”

A joint presentation of NSSF and the FAIR Trade Group, the 2015 Import/Export Conference is the firearms industry’s premier educational event for manufacturers and others in the supply chain doing business internationally or considering such expansion. Additional sponsorship opportunities for this conference are still available. To learn more, contact Chis Tatulli, NSSF Director, Exhibit and Sponsorship Sales, [email protected].
