Available exclusively to AHFA members for $599, virtual registration provides livestream access to two full days of programming focused on the regulatory and compliance issues affecting the home furnishings industry.

“We’re pleased to make the Regulatory Summit available virtually for members who aren’t able to join us in Colfax,” said Bill Perdue, AHFA vice president of regulatory affairs. “For those who can attend in person, the Summit offers the opportunity to engage directly with speakers and industry colleagues, along with lunch both days and a highly anticipated networking reception.”

Under the theme “Grave Matters in Compliance,” this year’s Summit will examine developments at the federal, state and international levels that could impact manufacturers’ products, operations and supply chains.

Headlining the Summit is U.S. Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-NC), a combat-decorated Green Beret, entrepreneur and manufacturing business owner representing North Carolina’s 10th Congressional District. Harrigan’s keynote will draw on his experience in the military, manufacturing and public service while exploring leadership, the challenges facing American manufacturers and the public policy issues shaping the future of American business.

The program will also address EPA risk assessment and risk management, formaldehyde, PFAS reporting, California Proposition 65, product safety standards, wood sourcing and traceability, supply chain due diligence, packaging requirements and emerging European regulations.

In-person registration is $299 for AHFA members and $1,299 for non-members. In-person registration includes lunch on both days and a cocktail reception on Wednesday, October 28, where attendees will have an opportunity to meet Harrigan.

Registration and additional event information are available on the 2026 Regulatory Summit event page.
