CNG D.C. In-Person Session

What You Need to Know to Thrive in 2026

In this session we will have robust discussions on key external factors that will be influencing credentialing programs of all sizes and maturity.  We will explore the impact of state and federal legislative initiatives, legal influences, macro-economic trends, and changing candidate and geographic patterns. 

The first segment will feature speakers exploring key national and state legislation, regulation, and their anticipated impacts on credentialing programs, candidates, and certificants.

The second segment will pivot to discuss key demographic and economic trends that organizations need to be considering as they plan for the future of their assessments, certification standards, financial projections, etc.
