Meeting Future Challenges in Risk Assessment and Risk Management
Long Beach, CA|Marriott Long Beach Downtown
PSA 2027 will celebrate fifty years of progress while looking ahead to the challenges and opportunities that will shape the future of risk assessment and risk management. The conference will bring together three generations of the probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) community: the pioneers who established the foundations of PRA, the practitioners who transformed PRA into a mature engineering, safety, and regulatory decision-support tool, and the next generation of experts who will advance the discipline and extend its applications to new technologies and emerging challenges.
For sponsors and exhibitors, PSA 2027 offers more than visibility - it offers access to a highly specialized audience shaping how risk assessment is applied across industrial, regulatory, and emerging-technology settings. The 50th Anniversary Conference creates a focused opportunity to build relationships, demonstrate expertise, and align your organization with the future of probabilistic safety assessment. This once-in-a-lifetime forum will connect sponsors and exhibitors with decision-makers, regulators, project managers, business leaders, scientists, engineers, students, and educators from around the world who work in PSA-related topical areas. Simply put, no other forum will capture the full breadth of the PSA community the way PSA 2027 will.
Showcase your brand at PSA 2027 and its products and services. Demonstrate how your organization can support risk-informed processes, activities, and systems while improving safety and efficiency.
