SQF Unites 2026: practical preparation for Edition 10
The question many teams are facing right now is simple: Are we truly preparing?
Taking place March 9–12, 2026, in St. Louis, SQF Unites offers education sessions designed to help you close readiness gaps before Edition 10 becomes operational reality.
You will find the popular knowledge swaps and various learning formats where Edition 10 content will be shared and discussed.
Prepare with a detailed schedule of learning sessions such as “A Change Management Approach to Implementing Edition 10.” Transitioning to a new edition of the SQF Code involves more than operational updates; it requires organization-wide changes. In this interactive session, industry leaders who’ve guided sites through previous edition transitions will share strategies to:
- Optimize structured change management practices like stakeholder engagement, communication planning, and phased rollouts.
- Apply real-world lessons from case studies of sites that strengthened implementation through better change management.
- Develop an actionable roadmap that aligns Edition 10 requirements with proven organizational practices for long-term success.
Another way to get ahead on Edition 10
Another resource for teams looking to prepare for Edition 10 is the SQF Edition 10 Conversion Course.
When you pre-buy the course, you’ll receive access to an exclusive Edition 10 webinar that walks through key updates and practical next steps for implementation. It’s an opportunity to build internal alignment early and ensure your team is moving forward with clarity.
