The focus of this year's International Symposium is "Safely sustainable: exploring how the concept of sustainability is impacting and shaping consumer product safety." As product manufacturers work to make their products and their processes more
sustainable, and with a notable uptick in sustainability centric regulations and initiatives, sessions this year will look to educate and inform about the latest developments from a product safety perspective, while tackling the product safety
implications associated with this growing area of policy and law. Relevant topics related to COVID-19, new technologies, risk management, and compliance will also be included in this years discussion.
With the Symposium being virtual we are extending the agenda to 2 days to allow for some sessions to be repeated at different times of the day. As a global organization we recognize that our attendees come from different time zones and want to
allow as much live access to our 2020 International Symposium as possible. We will continue to explore all options to be able to include additional attendees from around the globe!
