2025 ANSI Innovation Summit: Where standards power progress

What is the ANSI Innovation Summit? The ANSI Innovation Summit (formerly World Standards Week) is an annual event hosted by ANSI that brings together the Institute’s members and private- and public-sector stakeholders from across the standards and conformity assessment communities to engage on priority issues and celebrate standardization achievements.

This year’s events will be held in person only to foster networking opportunities, increase engagement, and support collaborations that advance the standardization community’s shared goals.

U.S. Standards Strategy: Your Role in Shaping Innovation and Competitiveness

Free event

Opens with networking lunch from 12-1 pm ET

Join this interactive session to help launch the groundbreaking U.S. Standards Strategy 2025 — a roadmap for advancing U.S. technological innovation and global competitiveness. As rapid technological change reshapes international markets, this strategy positions standards as essential tools for driving U.S. economic growth, strengthening national security, supporting public health and safety, and maintaining technological excellence.

Your voice matters. We are seeking input from industry leaders, technical experts, standards developers, and members of consumer advocacy groups, academia, and government on how to effectively communicate and implement this critical strategy following its publication in January 2026. Your recommendations will directly influence how ANSI and the broader standards community roll out initiatives that drive innovation, open global markets, and enhance U.S. competitiveness across sectors.
