IntertechPira's Second Annual Chemical Notification/Food Contact World Summit Set for Fall 2009

Over 100 leading industry executives expected to attend conference Mon. September 14 - Tues. September 15, 2009 in DC Metro region

Portland, ME (PRWEB) July 7, 2009 -- IntertechPira is proud to announce the 2nd annual "Chemical Notification/Food Contact World Summit" (http://www.chemicalnotification.com) where government and industry leaders will explore the latest challenges and issues in chemical notification and food contact law. Attendees will receive key updates on new chemical notification procedures in multiple countries, including Australia, Taiwan, Latin America, the Middle East, Canada, Europe, and the US. The conference will take place from Monday, September 14, 2009 through Tuesday, September 15, 2009 at the Hotel Palomar Arlington in Arlington, VA.

"Due to the tough economic climate, we've shortened the program to give delegates the maximum amount of information in the minimum amount of time," said Jessica Johnson, Senior Conference Producer for IntertechPira. "Our goal this year was to offer a lower cost, less time away from the office, an accessible location just outside of Washington DC and the most comprehensive line-up of speakers from around the world focused on the topics of new chemical notifications and food contact notifications."

"Chemical Notification/Food Contact World Summit 2009" will feature presentations from leaders in government and industry, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Ciba Expert Services, Cantox Health Sciences, Ashland Inc., BP Lubricants and many others.

International regulations for the chemicals industry are complex and often contradictory and this conference will provide a practical, real-world guide to submitting new chemical notifications according to international guidelines. The conference will focus on new chemical notifications, food contact regulations, REACH, GHS, ChAMP, exclusions and exemptions and much more. Break-out sessions are planned for this year's conference and delegates will be able to tailor their own program for a customized conference experience.
