Standards often assure quality and safety, but they are also integral to technological advancements and groundbreaking solutions. As Laurie E. Locascio, Ph.D. and ANSI's president and CEO, stated, the
ANSI Innovation Summit amplifies the essential message that standardization is crucial in compressing time-to-market, breaking down barriers to adoption, and scaling technologies from innovative concepts to global impact.
This year's event will feature a diverse array of activities aimed at fostering collaboration among various stakeholders. Participants will include industry leaders, technology innovators, standards experts, and representatives from academia, consumer groups, and government bodies. With a focus on interactive discussions and networking opportunities, the summit is expected to be a dynamic atmosphere for sharing insights and ideas.
What to Expect at the Summit
1.
A Technology Conference: The summit will include sessions on the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on manufacturing and supply chain processes. Attendees can expect to learn about case studies that highlight standards-driven innovations, showcasing how emerging technologies can be seamlessly integrated into existing frameworks.
2.
Legal Issues Forum: The conference will address two critical legal challenges. One focuses on the rapid evolution of AI technologies often outpacing existing legal frameworks, while the other will cover the shifting regulatory landscape that presents new opportunities for industry-led standards to fill in the regulatory gaps.
