Celebrating 10 Years: Join Us at the FSPCA Annual Conference

The Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA) is excited to announce the dates for its 10th Annual Conference, taking place November 17–18, 2026, at the Chicago Marriott Burr Ridge, Illinois. This milestone event will mark a decade of bringing together food safety professionals, educators, regulators, and industry leaders committed to strengthening preventive food safety systems worldwide.

This year’s conference theme, “Advancing Global Implementation of FSMA Regulations Through Education and Outreach,” highlights the continued importance of collaboration and knowledge-sharing as organizations implement and maintain food safety systems aligned with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Over the past ten years, the conference has grown into a key forum for discussing regulatory updates, sharing best practices, and exploring practical approaches to implementing preventive controls across the global food supply chain.

Attendees can expect engaging presentations from subject matter experts, updates on FSPCA training and initiatives, and opportunities to connect with colleagues across academia, government, and industry. The conference also provides a valuable space for the FSPCA community - including Lead Instructors and stakeholders - to exchange experiences and strengthen the network that supports food safety education around the world.

As FSPCA celebrates this 10-year milestone, the conference will reflect on the progress made since the early days of FSMA implementation while looking ahead to the future of food safety training, outreach, and global collaboration.

Registration will open soon, and additional details about the agenda and speakers will be shared in the coming weeks. We look forward to welcoming the food safety community to Burr Ridge, Illinois this November for a memorable anniversary event.
