What should Congressional staff know when drafting bills that impact standards development for critical and emerging technologies?

As the number of global players participating in standards processes increases, strengthening U.S. engagement in standards for advanced technologies carries strategic significance to our economic and national security.

Join us for an expert discussion on standards, the importance of U.S. participation in their development, and where Congressional action can bolster the underpinnings of the system.
