Program Development Committee
Each year, the Program Development Committee brings together a diverse group of representatives from government, industry, and professional associations. Their collective expertise and dedication ensure the conference program remains timely, relevant, and impactful - equipping delegates with practical knowledge and insights to apply in their day-to-day roles.
We extend our sincere thanks to the 2026 Program Development Committee for their invaluable contributions.
