The inaugural ANAB Conformity Assessment Symposium (ACAS) is coming up on January 19–20 at the beautiful Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

This event will embody the theme, “Connecting Community. Advancing Trust.” It is designed to serve as the central meeting point for everyone engaged in conformity assessment. Whether you represent a laboratory, inspection body, personnel certification scheme, product or process certification body, or regulatory/standardization organization, you’ll find tailored content, dynamic sessions, and networking opportunities that span the full spectrum of the profession.

Conformity assessment is evolving rapidly. New technologies, shifting regulations, global supply chain pressures, and changing stakeholder demands are creating unprecedented risks and opportunities.

At ACAS, attendees will learn to manage these changes by:

• Navigating emerging trends in AI, automation, and digital accreditation reshaping conformity assessment
• Mastering legal and regulatory complexities from cross-border accreditation to evolving liability frameworks
• Discovering how standards bodies, accreditors, and assessors collaborate to advance conformity assessment.
• Gaining insight into sector-specific challenges from laboratories and inspections, to credentialing, management systems, validation and verification, and product certification
• Building and expanding your professional network by meeting peers, thought leaders, and service providers in a relaxed yet purposeful environment designed for meaningful interaction

Professionals from accreditation bodies, conformity assessment bodies (labs, inspection, certification, verification), regulatory agencies, standards organizations, service providers, stakeholder groups, consultants, and anyone else involved in or affected by conformity assessment, verification/validation, and accreditation processes are invited to this unique event.
