I attended their earlier one on REACH/RoHS last year, and we're sending two to this one. They provide lots of good information, and answer questions. I recommend it as well.

REACH is not limited to automotive, it is an EU regulation. All businesses who want to export to the EU or manufacture within the EU will need to comply, whether it be materials or finished goods.
