Countdown to 'Safely Charging Ahead' Symposium: Americase Releases Full Agenda

Featuring Live Battery Safety Demonstrations, Regulatory Insights, and Industry Panel Discussions. Registration is still open for symposium, Oct 27-28

WAXAHACHIE, TX, UNITED STATES, October 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With just weeks to go before one of the battery industry’s most anticipated safety events, Americase has released the full agenda for its upcoming “Safely Charging Ahead: Navigating Battery Safety, Regulations & Innovation Symposium,” taking place October 27–28, 2025, at Americase Headquarters in Waxahachie, Texas.

The two-day symposium will unite international regulatory experts, engineers, and safety professionals for live thermal runaway and containment demonstrations, technical training, and panel discussions exploring the future of lithium and sodium-ion battery safety, testing, and compliance.

This year’s expanded program features five live battery safety demonstrations, including open-air lithium metal and sodium-ion cell tests, packaging failure simulations, and a thermal runaway demonstration for battery backup units/battery energy storage system (BESS). These sessions—conducted in open air by Raymond James—provide attendees and media an unprecedented opportunity to observe the realities of containment and fire behavior up close.

The event also includes expert-led sessions from across the battery safety ecosystem. Shmuel De-Leon, founder of Shmuel De-Leon Energy, will lead training on lithium-ion battery hazards and safe handling across their life cycle. A panel moderated by Ryan Paquet of HazMat Safety Consulting will bring together experts from Americase, Currie Associates, ALL4, and others to discuss regulatory trends, fire code implications, risk management, and recall readiness.

Day two sessions will tackle the most complex safety and compliance issues facing the industry today—including management of damaged, defective, and recalled (DDR) batteries, facility preparedness for potential thermal events, and the insurance implications of evolving global fire codes. Speakers include Dr. Hernan Sanchez of Exponent, Anna McWhirter of Toyota, Tom Ferguson of Currie Associates, and Mike Pagel of HazMat Safety Consulting.

“Battery technology continues to advance at an incredible pace, and with that comes the responsibility to stay ahead of safety and regulatory standards,” said Robby Kinsala, President and CEO of Americase. “This symposium gives industry professionals the chance to see live tests, ask hard questions, and leave with practical insights to strengthen their operations.”

“It’s rare to see safety training combined with live demonstrations and open discussions like this,” added Shmuel De-Leon, Founder and CEO of Shmuel De-Leon Energy, Ltd. “Attendees will walk away with both knowledge and firsthand experience.”

The symposium will attract professionals from across the battery and logistics ecosystem, including manufacturers, data center operators, insurers, 3PL providers, EHS managers, and academic researchers. A networking reception will follow the first day’s sessions, offering opportunities for deeper collaboration and industry dialogue.
