New for 2026! AAFA’s Product Safety & Compliance Seminar is expanding from a one-day program to a day and a half of valuable content and networking opportunities! Once again, the seminar will be held alongside the member-only Environmental Committee and Social Responsibility Committee Meetings, creating even more opportunities for collaboration.

All apparel and footwear industry professionals, regardless of AAFA membership, are encouraged to participate. Product safety, compliance, regulatory, quality assurance, and chemical management professionals from entry level to executive level are invited to join us. This program is closed to press attendance and coverage.

Product safety, quality, and compliance have grown more complex across the supply chain as new materials and innovation are incorporated into production. Addressing regulations from the federal level down to the state and county level, this program supports the development of a comprehensive risk-based approach to unify global operations with legislative standards across compliance systems and protocols. Co-located with this seminar, AAFA’s Environmental and Social Responsibility Committee meetings provide attending members with expanded resources and alignment.
