T6A Symposium
The 61508 Association (T6A) Symposium
a.k.a T6A Symposium
The association occasionally runs a T6A symposium on functional safety for the benefit of its members to share knowledge and encourage development. The symposium is often also open to non-member functional safety practitioners to encourage networking.
Our T6A symposium is a full-day in-person networking event focussed on functional safety and safety-related systems. Papers and workshops that can be covered include any topic related to functional safety (which could cover any of various sectors).
Our T6A symposium focuses on important functional safety principles and includes consideration for current issues and future trends. Our symposium has two streams, one for papers and another for more technical workshops such as those covering Conformity Assessment of Safety-related Systems (CASS) assessment templates.
Speakers from end users, manufacturers, consultants and conformity assessment bodies, all heavily involved in functional safety / safety-related systems, share their knowledge and expertise on their topic. We always allow ample opportunities throughout for questions, discussions and networking (in breaks and especially over lunch, which is included).
The 2024 symposium is confirmed and formally announced. We can tell you that this years symposium is called:
T6A Symposium – Guidance in Functional Safety Compliance.
And will be held in York (United Kingdom) on Wednesday the 20th of November, 2024.
We hope to see you there! Please come and network!
2024 T6A Symposium – Guidance in Functional Safety Compliance
