Beveridge & Diamond is proud to sponsor the American Chemistry Council's Annual GlobalChem Conference, taking place in Washington, DC, from February 28 to March 2. GlobalChem is one of the industry's leading events focused on chemical regulation and provides a unique educational opportunity for chemical industry professionals.

The event includes a 2-day Conference and 1-day Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Fundamentals Workshop. GlobalChem 2018 will explore lessons learned since the passage of the Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act (LCSA) amendments to TSCA, strategies for successful implementation of the TSCA amendments throughout the value chain, and how these efforts reflect or inform international chemical management activities.
