The 2026 NAFTZ Spring Seminar returns with a focus on the practical realities shaping today’s Foreign-Trade Zone environment—and a forward look at what’s next. Designed for operators, users, grantees, and service providers alike, Spring Seminar has long been the place where FTZ professionals come to deepen their understanding, sharpen their skills, and exchange real-world insights. This year’s program builds on that foundation with a deliberate blend of hands-on learning and strategic perspective, all in a setting that encourages meaningful connection and conversation.

New this year, Z-Tech sessions are woven into the Spring Seminar program, examining how technology, technical expertise, and techniques are shaping trade compliance, FTZ operations, and global competitiveness. These sessions reflect the evolving demands placed on FTZ professionals—where operational excellence, regulatory fluency, and smarter use of tools increasingly intersect. 

Set against the walkable waterfront backdrop of Portland, Maine, the 2026 Spring Seminar offers an engaging, focused environment to learn, connect, and prepare for what’s ahead. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your day-to-day operations, support the future of the FTZ program, or align your organization with the next phase of trade and compliance, Spring Seminar is a must-attend event.
