1. You can attend in-person or virtually.

While all attendees will benefit from live presentations, in-person attendees will also have the opportunity to network with industry leaders and peers, discuss the latest innovations with event sponsors and exhibitors, engage in "Table Talk" on trending topics during lunch, and of course participate in our end-of-event networking reception.

2. There’s a new hotel block location.

Please note the new hotel block location at the Marriott Courtyard Livonia. This hotel is a few miles from the venue and will have a free shuttle to transport you to and from the venue on October 15 and to the venue on October 16.

3. The theme is "The Role of IMDS in Corporate Responsibility Due Diligence."

You’ll hear detailed presentations on Product Carbon Footprint and its connection to Data Quality, Electronic Reporting in IMDS, the EU Battery Passport, and more, including:

  • Life Cycle Assessments
  • Mandatory Chemistry Manager Reporting
  • IMDS Version 14.3 and 14.4 Updates (Along with What's Coming Next in Version 15.0)
  • In-Depth Information on TSCA and PFAS
  • Updates from the IMDS Steering Committee on ELV, REACH, and Other EU Legislation, Along with Potential Future Releases for IMDS
4. There’s an optional Day 3 add-on.

On October 17, those attending in person can participate in one of three training sessions (2-3 hours each):

  • PCF Training
  • IMDS Tips and Tricks for Basic and Advanced Users
