Join CSIS and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) at 10:00 a.m. ET on Friday, October 17, for a public event highlighting the release of the draft U.S. Standards Strategy—our nation’s blueprint for standards leadership and international engagement. First published in 2000 and updated every five years, the strategy guides how America's private-sector-led, consensus-based standards system advances innovation, competitiveness, and national security in an increasingly complex global landscape.
The program will feature ANSI President and CEO Dr. Laurie E. Locascio setting the stage on the revised strategy’s importance, followed by a panel discussion exploring why a transparent, market-driven, and private-sector-led approach to standards development matters now more than ever. Panelists will discuss how standards shape U.S. innovation, strengthen competitiveness, and support U.S. leadership in critical and emerging technologies.
The panel will be moderated by Phillip Singerman, senior adviser (non-resident) at CSIS, and will include:
Join an interactive session to further explore the U.S. Standards Strategy and help shape the future of U.S. standards leadership on October 21 at ANSI's Innovation Summit. Participate in a guided discussion to identify actionable steps the standards community can take to implement the strategy's four priorities in 2026 and beyond. Your insights will help define creative, adaptive approaches to standards development that match the unprecedented speed and scale of today’s technological evolution.
