Leadership Retreat
12-15 Feb. 2025.  Arizona

Compliance Standards is pleased to announce the holding of its exclusive ITAD Leadership Retreat, to be held in Austin, Texas from 21 to 23 October 2024. This exclusive event will be catered to senior decision makers in the ITAD industry, OEMs, retailers, and adjacent sectors with interest in enterprise ITAD and recycling. The theme of this year’s retreat is:

Shaping the Strategic Outlook of the ITAD Industry:
Preparing for Megatrends’ Disruptions and Opportunities.

Exclusivity and Format:

The event is not a conference. It is a high-end retreat bringing together the most relevant actors who, individually or collectively, have the ability to influence the shape and the future of the ITAD industry. Attendance will be limited to 35 participants. The event will feature these specific agenda items:

1. Formal and semi-formal presentations that will focus on the state of the sector, future outlook and what are the obstacles facing it and in need to fresh efforts to fix. Most of this section will be driven by top analysts, industry leaders and representatives of organizations that use ITAD.

2. In-depth discussions among attendees on how to effectively address and reform the sector to deal with inhibitors and challenges. This section will come in the form of open forum, resembling a focus group setting, with the idea of allowing participants to share issues and solutions.

3. Non-business activities such as dining, music, etc., activities that we expect will stimulate deeper discussion in fun environments.

More Specifically: The Event has Four Goals:

1. To present the latest data and information on ITAD and electronics recycling industry trends. Market analysts will use data to frame the broad discussion of the event by profiling market conditions and the industry’s environment. Analysts, both from within and outside the industry, will also offer a view on the future and what to expect the months and years to come.

2. To hear from executives who have ITAD programs in their companies.  The purpose is to help industry leaders hear the concerns and pain points experienced by corporate clients and prospective ones.

3. To create an environment that will foster the emergence of ideas and strategies of common interest, spanning from how to educate customers to how to constructively engage with OEMs and other stakeholders. These open discussion sessions will lead to propositions that will seek to enhance the industry’s performance and improve its relationships with other critical stakeholders.

4. To chart the path for 2025 and beyond with common interests and shared ideas that enhance the importance of ITAD and bring it to the next level.
