Learn the latest global environment developments on RoHS, WEEE, Energy Efficiency, and more at TechAmerica's annual environment compliance roadshow.

AeA, ITAA, GEIA and CSIA have merged to form TechAmerica, the largest and strongest voice and resource for technology in the United States. Together, we are the industry's leading trade association, offering companies a broader array of programs and services.

Come hear the latest analysis from the leading legal WEEE/RoHS source, Allen & Overy, LLP and receive European Environment Updates directly from Steve Andrews, UK Department of Trade and Industry (a leading government official) and from Chris Smith, from the UK's RoHS and Batteries Enforcement Authority (NWML). Additionally, hear from industry peers on how their companies are complying and from TechAmerica's experts in International, federal, and state environment issues.

**This event is approved for CA MCLE credits.**

In this interactive seminar, you will learn:

• Updates on EU RoHS exemption review and the 2008 reviews of both the WEEE and RoHS directives, which include the proposal to extend RoHS to medical devices and monitoring and control instruments.
• Updates on recent China RoHS developments in the area of catalogue development, standards and enforcement of labeling and information disclosure requirement.
• About China RoHS industry best practices regarding preparedness and compliance
• Status of EU's EuP framework directive and implementing measures that are setting eco-design (mostly energy efficiency) requirements for specific product groups
• About updates of the global energy efficiency initiatives
• An overview of the U.S. State legislation and potential federal legislation
• About REACH, EU regulation governing the Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals, puts the onus on industry to analyze the substance composition of virtually all products manufactured or used, and to work with chemical suppliers and regulatory authorities to make sure that every chemical substance is properly registered and, as applicable, evaluated, authorized and/or restricted, before any substances or finished products are put on the market in the EU.
• The REACH presentation will focus on REACH obligations that may apply to you if you produce or import finish goods, components or parts in the EU or use any substances or preparations (e.g. solvents, fluids, inks) in the course of your industrial or professional activities.
• About design for environments and company green initiatives
• Best practices from your peers.
