ACI's 13th Annual Legal, Regulatory & Compliance Forum on Cosmetics & Personal Care Products

The American Conference Institute (ACI) is hosting its 13th Annual Legal, Regulatory & Compliance Forum on Cosmetics & Personal Care Products on March 12-13, 2026, at the New York City Bar Association in New York City. This premier event brings together legal and regulatory professionals from the cosmetics and personal care industry to discuss the latest developments and challenges in the field.

Key topics to be covered include the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA), state-driven rulemaking, class actions, packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), influencer partnerships, and the impact of generative AI on the industry. The forum offers two specialized tracks—Regulatory and Legal—allowing attendees to choose sessions most relevant to their roles, such as chemical contamination, ingredient safety, testing, adverse event reporting, product liability, and M&A trends.

Additional features of the forum include hands-on workshops on global compliance outlooks (covering regions like LATAM, EU, and Asia), working with influencers, and packaging EPR compliance. The event also introduces an E-Commerce Corner, exploring topics like generative AI, data privacy, intellectual property protections, and strategies for safeguarding consumer trust. Roundtable discussions will provide practical benchmarking on licensing and partnerships, retailer requirements, and pop culture and IP challenges.

This forum is ideal for legal and regulatory professionals in the cosmetics and personal care industry seeking to stay compliant and competitive. Attendees will gain valuable insights, engage in meaningful networking opportunities, and participate in discussions that address the evolving landscape of cosmetics regulation and compliance.
