GlobalChem's theme this year is "Empowering Chemical Innovation through Regulatory Clarity" and the GlobalChem audience would welcome the opportunity to hear from you about EPA's Powering the Great American Comeback Initiative. For nearly 40 years, the ACC has hosted GlobalChem to serve as the premier policy and regulatory platform where government officials, industry experts, academia and stakeholders gather annually to exchange ideas, insights, and expertise on domestic and international chemicals management. Annually, GlobalChem draws between 250 - 300 attendees. Additionally, sponsors of GlobalChem include environmental consulting firms, scientific consulting firms and law firms. Participants, panelists and speakers at the conference regularly include EPA leadership and career level staff. For example, past keynote speakers and session panelists from EPA have included: the Assistant Administrator for OCSPP; the Director of the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT); the Deputy Director of OPPT; the Director of the Existing Chemicals Risk Assessment Division; the Director of the New Chemicals Division; and the DeputyAssistant Administrator for Stationary Sources in the Office of Air and Radiation.
