The Briefing: FFL Compliance Summit Brings ATF and FBI Leadership Face to Face with Dealers in Dallas

DALLAS, TX — The Briefing: FFL Compliance Summit will take place September 23–25, 2026, at the W Hotel Dallas, bringing Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) face to face with leadership from the ATF and FBI, alongside the industry's top compliance attorneys, experts, and technology providers. The summit is designed to give dealers something a Federal Register notice can't: direct access to the people who write, interpret, and enforce the rules.

Billed as a working room rather than a traditional conference, The Briefing is built around four questions: what changed in the regulations, who decided it, how it will be enforced, and why. The three-day program covers the new Form 4473, adverse action policy, NFA and eForms operations, NICS updates, and the enforcement priorities shaping day-to-day dealer operations — explained by the people who made the decisions, in a room where attendees can ask questions directly.

The agenda pairs sessions led by government officials with practical, industry-led discussions and panels, helping FFLs turn fast-changing rules into a clear plan for their businesses. Among the presenters is Travis Glover, Chief Operating Officer of Silencer Shop and 4473 Cloud, who will offer a counter-level perspective on modern firearms compliance — from digital recordkeeping and the new 4473 to NFA processing and the technology stack ahead.

"FFLs need to be in the room where these decisions are explained, and they need practical answers they can act on the moment they get back to the counter," said Travis Glover, COO of Silencer Shop and 4473 Cloud. "The Briefing is built exactly for that, and we're glad to be part of it."

The Briefing is limited to Federal Firearms Licensees, with seating capped to preserve direct, question-and-answer access to speakers. Registration is open now.
