NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, April 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The American Conference Institute (ACI) is pleased to announce the return of its 3rd Annual Summit on PFAS Regulation, Compliance and Litigation, taking place May 28–29, 2026, at 3 Times Square in New York City.

As PFAS (“forever chemicals”) continue to dominate the regulatory, legal, and public health landscape, 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year. With evolving federal priorities, aggressive state-level action, expanding reporting obligations, and litigation moving beyond the multidistrict litigation (MDL), organizations across industries face increasing pressure to understand and manage PFAS-related risk.

This year’s Summit will bring together leading regulators, in-house counsel, law firm attorneys, and industry stakeholders to provide a comprehensive view of the PFAS landscape and deliver practical strategies for navigating compliance, enforcement, and litigation challenges.

A Timely and Comprehensive Program

The 2026 agenda addresses the most pressing topics facing organizations today, including:

• Federal PFAS policy developments, enforcement priorities, and regulatory uncertainty
• State-driven PFAS regulation, including product bans, reporting mandates, and cleanup standards
• The evolving PFAS litigation landscape, including MDL developments and emerging claims
• PFAS risk management strategies, corporate communications, and liability mitigation
• Testing methodologies, data interpretation, and litigation readiness
• PFAS considerations in transactions, M&A, and deal structuring
• Increased scrutiny of PFAS in consumer products, medical applications, and everyday goods
• Global PFAS regulation and cross-border supply chain exposure

A highlight of the Summit is the State Regulators Roundtable, where senior environmental agency leaders will provide firsthand insight into how states are advancing PFAS regulation and enforcement, offering attendees a rare opportunity to understand jurisdictional differences and compliance expectations.

Notable speakers include:

• David Fotouhi, Deputy Administrator, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
• Ed Potosnak, Commissioner, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
• Katrina Kessler, Commissioner, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
