The Bill, like that of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Section 1502, aims to make sure that Canadians can choose products that don’t fund armed conflict. This event, presented by the Conflict Minerals Consortium coincides with the 1-year anniversary of the Dodd-Frank Section 1502 Conflict Minerals Final Rule. The invitation-only Symposium will convene a diverse cross-section of speakers including U.S. State Department, Tata Consulting Services Group, Resource Global, Biogen Idec, Elm Consulting, University of California, Schulth Roth & Zabel, Global Witness, European Union, U.S. Government Accountability Office, and more. Participants will be provided with a forum to share their practical experience, insights, and vision for achieving conflict-free sourcing practices globally with the implementation of effective regulations. Final speaker submissions are due by June 15, 2013. If you would like to attend the Symposium, recommend a speaker (including yourself), or suggest a topic for discussion to our diverse cross-section of speakers including Government, Private Industry, Academia and Non-governmental organizations, please submit a [REQUEST AN INVITATION TO THE SYMPOSIUM OR RECOMMEND A SPEAKER](http://www.conflictmineralsconsortium.com/node/55) [![](/sites/default/files/Clients/Source_Intelligence_Vector_Logo.png)](/profiles/source-intelligencer) ### More from Source Intelligence® ###### [Are These 8 Smelters of High Concern Present in Your Supply Chain?](/news/are-these-8-smelters-high-concern-present-your-supply-chain) Apr 7, 2017 2:30 PM ET ###### [Compliance in 2017 - What Are Your Peers Saying?](/news/compliance-2017-what-are-your-peers-saying) Mar 17, 2017 11:50 AM ET ###### [Why Your Company Needs to Address Human Trafficking in Your Supply Chain](/news/why-your-company-needs-address-human-trafficking-your-supply-chain) Mar 16, 2017 2:00 PM ET ###### [Palm Oil in the Spotlight: HSBC Stops Lending to Companies Involved in Deforestation](/news/palm-oil-spotlight-hsbc-stops-lending-companies-involved-deforestation) Feb 27, 2017 1:30 PM ET ###### [Ashton Kutcher’s Testimonial Puts Technology at the Forefront of Combatting Human Trafficking](/news/ashton-kutchers-testimonial-puts-technology-forefront-combatting-human-trafficking) Feb 23, 2017 4:15 PM ET ###### [The Potential Dangers of Palm Oil Consumption](/news/potential-dangers-palm-oil-consumption) Feb 21, 2017 5:15 PM ET ###### [Mitigating and Managing Business Risk in the Middle East: A Challenge for Supply Chain Managers](/news/mitigating-and-managing-business-risk-middle-east-challenge-supply-chain-managers) Feb 17, 2017 5:10 PM ET ###### [5 Steps to Develop a Supply Chain Risk Assessment Process](/news/5-steps-develop-supply-chain-risk-assessment-process) Feb 14, 2017 5:05 PM ET
