Secretariat is proud to sponsor ICPHSO’s 2026 Annual Meeting & Training Symposium, February 23–26.

This event brings together regulators, manufacturers, retailers, testing laboratories, and legal and consulting professionals from around the world to engage in meaningful dialogue on product safety challenges and emerging risks.

On Wednesday, February 25, Farah Ahmed will co-present “Risk Assessment Harmonization: Challenges and Strategic Implications” with Jacob Borowiec (Hasbro) and Catherine Niven (Queensland University of Technology).

The panel will explore what happens when different risk assessment methodologies produce varying results for the same product. The discussion will examine the practical ramifications of those differences for consumers, retailers, and regulators, as well as what collaboration can look like when regions and organizations approach risk assessment differently.

If you’ll be attending, we hope you’ll stop by the exhibit hall and connect with our team. Attendees include Eric Guyer, Jonathan Jordan, Bryson Brewer, Farheen Khan, Angela Meyer, and Steve Garner.
