2026 Cooperative Hazardous Materials Enforcement Development (COHMED) Conference

Presented by the Cooperative Hazardous Materials Enforcement Development (COHMED) Program, the COHMED Conference is a focused, one-of-a-kind event for individuals and organizations involved in the regulation, enforcement and safety of transporting hazardous materials and dangerous goods. It provides a unique opportunity for the hazmat community to present concerns and perspectives about enforcement of regulations. The information sharing and problem solving that takes place at the conference, coupled with hands-on training and in-depth education, is critical to building cooperation among stakeholders. The COHMED Conference is an unparalleled opportunity to network, build better working relationships, learn the latest trends and techniques, and provide input into future changes and regulations. This annual event is held every winter (January/February) to encourage coordination, cooperation, and communication among federal, state, and local agencies with regulatory and enforcement authority for the safe transportation of hazardous materials and the industry partners responsible for safety packaging and transporting such materials.
