Safety professionals, manufacturing leaders, operations teams, and industry stakeholders will gather in Kingsport, Tenn., to address and discuss the challenges facing modern processing and manufacturing facilities at eChem Expo 2026. The conference will take place April 8–9 at the MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center. The event is produced by EndeavorB2B, parent company of EHS Today.

It features more than 20 hours of accredited education led by industry experts from companies such as Mettler-Toledo, KOCH, Protego, IndexAR Solutions, Hargrove and Endress+Hauser.
