About

Join selected sessions of the Product Compliance Dialog 2026 online – this program focusses on the main topics of the on-site conference.

We invite you to follow selected sessions of the Product Compliance Dialog 2026 virtually on June 11 and 12, 2026. Join the online discussion with representatives from businesses, the consumer goods industry, market surveillance authorities, and testing laboratories to learn how to successfully master the complex requirements of product safety, regulatory affairs, and product liability through innovative and pragmatic strategies. All virtual sessions will be offered with simultaneous translation and can also be viewed at a later time.

In 2026, the focus will be on product compliance management systems (PCMS), recalls, liability and insurance, and best practices in product compliance. The virtual formats offer you in-depth, practical insights and concrete solutions to current challenges – regardless of location and in a compact format.
