As global product regulations continue to expand in scope and complexity, organizations must strengthen their approach to product compliance across design, manufacturing, and supply chains. This exclusive, in-person event marks the next stop of The Global Roadshow: Product Compliance & Sustainability, focused on helping businesses navigate evolving regulatory requirements with confidence.
Join product compliance, regulatory, and risk professionals as we examine the regulatory, legal, and operational implications of key EU product regulations. From Digital Product Passports and Extended Producer Responsibility to Chemical Restrictions, Right to Repair, RoHS, and lots more this session will explore how compliance obligations are converging—and what this means for products placed on the market.
Engage in expert-led presentations, practical discussions, and an interactive Q&A session designed to provide clarity on regulatory expectations, highlight areas of risk, and support informed decision-making across product portfolios and supply chains.
Prepare to be informed, equipped, and ready to navigate the future of product compliance—while understanding how sustainability requirements increasingly intersect with regulatory obligations.
