2026 International Symposium

As global supply chains grow ever more complex and e-commerce enables the near-instantaneous distribution of goods across borders, the systems that we rely upon to keep consumers safe face unprecedented challenges.

This panel brings together regulators and industry leaders to examine how scale simultaneously amplifies risk and creates opportunity: from data-driven risk assessment and AI-powered horizon scanning to the challenge of maintaining coherent oversight when millions of consumer products cross borders daily.

Regulatory frameworks are proliferating — yet diverging — with the EU, UK, and US each pursuing distinct approaches to market surveillance, online marketplace accountability, and the integration of artificial intelligence into both manufacturing processes and enforcement tools.

Delegates will leave with a sharper understanding of where international cooperation is advancing, where critical gaps remain, and how the profession must adapt to safeguard consumers in an era of extraordinary commercial velocity.
