Hear it from Forum attendees: "As part of a large distribution facility offering a diverse range of products, I understand the complexities of operating within DOT standards and the challenge of mastering multiple product categories. Building relationships with fellow COSTHA members has been invaluable-this network of dangerous goods professionals not only safeguards our business but also continually broadens my expertise. Attending this year’s conference has further fueled my enthusiasm for the industry, leaving me inspired and eager to embrace new opportunities and best practices." "In order to stay on top of the DG industry standards and meet both the professionals of the nationwide DG community and the experts of the regulatory authorities, the attendance at the yearly COSTHA conference is a MUST for me. I make sure to include the conference in my yearly development goals and communicate the news and innovations with my teams. What I appreciate the most about COSTHA is the positive ambiance and feeling of togetherness. One of the most important messages of the speakers on stage is: I know that I don't know everything. But I know someone who can help with your request. I am very happy to be part of the COSTHA community and can recommend this event for any DG professional here in the United States." "Participating in the COSTHA Forum has been an invaluable experience for our team. The event brings together top-tier professionals and regulators from across the dangerous goods industry, creating a social and safe environment where critical issues can be discussed and best practices are shared. The sessions were not only informative but also actionable, offering insights into the latest regulatory updates, emerging trends, and practical solutions to real-world challenges. COSTHA continues to set the standard for industry engagement, and we left the Forum better equipped, more connected, and deeply motivated to enhance safety and compliance in our operations." "The event was very well organized, both in terms of meetings and training sessions. Reconnecting with peers and having the opportunity to exchange ideas is a real added value that this event offers. It’s always a pleasure to attend he COSTHA Annual Forum & Expo." "The COSTHA Annual Forum provides a unique opportunity to engage in conversations with not only members of other organizations in the industry, but also the members of the Regulatory bodies that govern transportation. It is an event that anyone involved in transportation of HazMat should be attending. Bringing more people from your company to the event will only increase the value gained by a company. This is the one conference every year that I refuse to miss due to the large potential benefits to my organization." "The mix of companies, all aspects of operations, and regulators is extremely valuable to better understand the challenges associated with multi-modal companies operating in the safe transportation of dangerous goods and hazardous materials! This group in particular has an incredible amount of institutional knowledge. Younger people at companies and the government especially should be encouraged to attend!" "The Annual COSTHA Forum is the premier event for dangerous goods professionals to learn, share knowledge, and interact with likeminded professionals and specialist industry suppliers." "COSTHA Forum is a great opportunity to network face to face with members that impact your organization or find similarities and share practices across different lines of business which you may not have otherwise thought about having similar issues. It broadens your perspective of the dangerous goods world from the narrow scope that your position deals with." "This is my first time attending COSTHA. I found the collaboration related to issues, concerns, and suggestions to improve and/or enhance how we can improve to enhance the safety of the public in the future insightful." "This was a tremendous event with well placed and well timed networking breaks. There is value in hearing regulators speak, but so much work gets done during the networking opportunities! Getting to see friendly faces (glad to be back in person!) is extremely valuable." "The industry's global dangerous goods leaders caucus once a year, and COSTHA is the reason. Be in the Know!" "The COSTHA Annual Forum is a great opportunity to network and learn from the experiences of others as well as sharing your experiences with others. That is the biggest value." "It is the best DG Forum in the World." "In today's environment a person is crazy not to participate in COSTHA. The forums are so valuable. They have the key government people involved to help industry know what changes will be taking place. This gives us an ppportunity to plan and to ask questions. Keep up the good work COSTHA!" "COSTHA has helped to educate and foster networking among my peers. COSTHA has also championed some significant changes in regulations that have benefited industry to ship/transport Hazmat more safely or efficiently." "Can't wait to network in person again, and meet all the people that we've been speaking with these last few years. I really appreciate the way COSTHA has adapted to the current environment, but looking forward to the future." |
