Industry Members Join Together for 2018 FICC Conference

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Orchid Advisors, a leading provider of FFL compliance solutions, and The National Shooting Sports Foundation^® (NSSF^®), the trade association for the firearms industry, extends their thanks and appreciation to the many industry member companies that have provided support for next week’s 2018 Firearms Industry Compliance Conference. The annual FICC event works to foster collaborative discussion and provide education in the compliance and legal challenges facing the firearms industry, emerging technology enhancing compliance and other critical issues. The conference is attended by those from the manufacturing, distribution and retailing segments, as well as those in import/export.

“We are very pleased to have both new and recurring sponsors for the Firearms Industry Compliance Conference. These companies have a respect for compliance and its importance to the FFLs in our industry. I encourage all FICC participants to spend time with each of the sponsors to learn more about their software and services,” says Jon Rydberg, CEO of Orchid Advisors.

This year’s FICC sponsors include Business Automation Specialists/Easy Bound Books (Silver); Epicor, Williams Mullen, TWI Group, Gearfire and FIA/FirearmsInsuranceAgent.com (Bronze); and Geissele (Supporting).

“The FICC has fast become the must-attend conference for our industry,” said Melissa Schilling, NSSF Director, Conferences & Exhibitions. “That’s a direct reflection of the quality of the conference, something that could not be achieved with the support of our sponsors. We sincerely thank each and every one for their contributions to this year’s FICC.”
