Product Stewardship 2018 is coming up in Washington DC at the end of this month, and we will be there!
Last year Mike Penman and Alex Leadbeater attended and this year Helen Penman and James Orr will be going.
So, what is The Product Stewardship Conference?
The Product Stewardship Conference brings together professionals from over a dozen different industry sectors and throughout the value chain, delivering unique educational and networking opportunities.
Why are we going and what are we hoping to get out of it?
At Penman Consulting, remaining up to date with the latest developments in product stewardship and science enables us to provide the best possible service to our clients.
The Conference helps guide Product Stewards through the impacts of consumer-led initiatives, evolving regulations, and always balanced with sound science. It is refreshing for Product Stewards to meet fellow industry professionals.
Not only do we get to meet new people, but we have the chance to meet some of our international clients face to face.
Training Session with Gail Hart, BSIE, MBA:
We will also be attending the Essentials of Product Stewardship session with Gail Hart on the 25th.
Gail is a previous colleague of Mike Penman and the “Guru of Product Stewardship”. The session covers:
- Maintaining awareness and responding to societal expectations, emerging trends, Product Stewardship regulatory requirements, and their implications on Product Stewardship
- Capitalizing on the Product Stewardship opportunities in supply chains to enhance performance and gain competitive advantage
- Determining, communicating, and managing product hazards, exposures, and risks
- “Greening” a product and incorporating Product Stewardship into all phases of a product’s lifecycle (Product stewardship link)
This is a great opportunity to learn from a highly experienced expert in the field and broaden our Product Stewardship knowledge and enhance the services we can provide to our clients.
