The importance of Consumer Product Safety is a priority shared across stakeholder groups and across product sectors – indeed, it is the thread that ties ICPHSO members together. In the consumer product safety world, all perspectives and voices matter – yet leaders still emerge.

In this special Keynote Panel Session, we focus on Women Leaders in Product Safety, and introduce you to four woman who have helped shape consumer product safety, exploring with them what it takes to be a leader in the consumer product safety world – what inspires them, what challenges them, what differentiates them and, importantly, what are their common threads?

Our distinguished panel cuts across various stakeholder groups, in the ICPHSO tradition, and includes the following Women Leaders in Product Safety (and their humble moderator)
