Join Eric Schweitzer, 3-A SSI Director of Standards and Certifications, for the first-of-its-kind 3-A SSI Open Forum on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM EST.

Schweitzer will lead a one-hour open discussion and will be joined by subject matter experts like plant managers/inspectors, food processors, process engineers, academics, regulatory professionals, and equipment manufacturers.

We asked and you told us: You want to learn more about topics such as…

  • What should the hygienic design requirements be for premise wiring, utilities, service piping, lines, and nonproduct contact surfaces?
  • What are the shielding requirements for equipment and who is responsible for the design and implementation?  

This is your opportunity to get direct answers to your most pressing technical questions from all stakeholder angles.

Why Attend?

  • Direct Access: Get free industry input on hygienic design and related 3-A SSI Standards principles.
  • Problem Solving: If we can’t answer your question live, we’ll research it and post the follow-up on our blog. Help inspire a new project for an amendment to an existing standard or a new standard that is not available today.
  • Meet Active Industry Subject Matter Experts: Network with some of the greatest hygienic design minds of our day and help promote the benefits of standards and accepted practices.
