CSA Group’s Annual Conference and Committee Week brings together Members, customers, partners, and experts representing industry, government, consumer groups and academia to explore new frontiers and explore how standards can help create a better, safer, more sustainable world.

How do standards improve safety and sustainability around the world? What impact do they have on people and business? How can standards help advance society and shape the future? We’ll explore these topics and more at the 2017 CSA Group Annual Conference & Committee Week.

This annual event is the premiere setting for anyone interested in exploring emerging issues, enhancing their skill sets, and sharing new ways to advance safety and sustainability through standards. This year we are planning a variety of interactive sessions and networking activities to make the event better than ever.
