August 21, 2025
The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) is pleased to announce AHPA President & CEO Graham Rigby will be a featured speaker at the 9th Annual SoCal Dietary Supplement Consortium on September 19, 2025. The premier event — held in collaboration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the American Society for Quality (ASQ) — will bring together industry leaders and regulatory experts in-person in Costa Mesa, CA, with the option to attend virtually also available.
Speaking in the “State of the Industry: FDA & Industry Perspective” session, Rigby will bring his expert insights to a discussion on the current landscape of the dietary supplement sector, including FDA organizational changes, regulatory priorities, enforcement trends, policy developments, and market shifts.
The consortium also features sessions on FDA import operations, supplier qualification, probiotic controls, manufacturing best practices, and more — making it a key event for regulatory, quality, and compliance professionals in the dietary supplement industry.
“I'm honored to be speaking at the SoCal Dietary Supplement Consortium, now in its ninth year,” said Rigby. “This event provides an essential forum for open dialogue between industry and regulators, and I'm grateful to the organizers for creating that space. I look forward to connecting with AHPA members and other professionals committed to strengthening compliance, quality, and consumer confidence in our field.”
AHPA encourages its members and the broader dietary supplement community with interest to register for the SoCal Dietary Supplement Consortium. Whether attending in person or virtually, attendees will gain valuable regulatory insights, practical strategies, and connections to help advance best practices and strengthen the industry.
