Functional Safety Events Radar — September 2026

November is a busy stretch of the autumn functional safety calendar. Two core events close out October, followed by five dedicated events across Germany and the UK, from the Automotive Functional Safety Forum in Stuttgart on 4–5 November to the T6A Symposium in York on 25 November. This seventh edition covers the rest of October and all of November.

What’s new since the September edition
  • Two late-October dates are still open to plan around: TÜV SÜD’s Mobile Robotics Conference and SCSC’s “AI in a Safety Workflow” seminar, with their programs now published.
  • November is the busiest stretch of the autumn. Five core events land between 4 and 25 November, from the automotive forum in Stuttgart to the free T6A symposium in York.
  • Two scheduling clashes worth knowing early: 12 November puts the SCSC AI-assurance seminar in London against the opening of the Functional Safety Barcamp in Cologne, and 17–19 November sets Hazards 36 in Manchester against Safetronic near Stuttgart.

A quick reminder on how we tag events →
Core: functional safety is the reason the event exists; the whole program is built around it, so these are the ones to block out first.
Industry-adjacent: events rooted in neighboring safety-critical fields that still carry confirmed functional safety sessions, worth your time if your work sits where those areas overlap.

Core events: rest of October ’26

Two core events close the month: mobile-robot safety in Munich on 27 October, followed by AI in safety-engineering workflows in London on 29 October.

TÜV SÜD Mobile Robotics Conference 2026

One-line summary: A safety-critical mobile robotics conference, where autonomous machines and functional safety meet.

Why join?
Sessions on scenario-based robot safety validation, testing AI in safety-critical machinery, and human–robot collaboration, alongside embedded security and IEC 62443 for mobile robots.

Editorial note: A parallel exhibition offers companies an opportunity to present products and services; contact the organizer for availability and costs.

Keywords: mobile robotics, autonomous systems, AI safety, machinery safety, dual-use

SCSC 1-Day Seminar: AI in a Safety Workflow

One-line summary: An SCSC seminar on how AI tools fit inside day-to-day safety engineering work.

Why join?
Ongoing ISO standards work on AI-tool qualification, trust in AI-generated code, and safeguards around an AI-assisted HAZOP workflow. Further talks cover AI governance and assessment of AI-based automation.

Keywords: AI in safety, safety workflow, tool qualification, safety engineering, assurance

Core events coming up in November ’26

Editorial note: For readers in India, TÜV SÜD’s Automotive Conclave: AI Powered Safety and Cybersecurity takes place on 5 November at Hotel Vivanta, Hinjewadi, Pune. The program brings together ISO 26262, automotive cybersecurity, and ASPICE, with external industry speakers and panel discussions.

4th Annual Automotive Functional Safety Forum

One-line summary: A dedicated automotive functional safety forum built around ISO 26262 practice.

Why join?
The 4th edition of the forum that brings together ISO 26262 implementation, safety cases, SOTIF, and safety–cybersecurity alignment through case studies, panels, and roundtables, with Q&A and organized one-to-one networking.

Keywords: ISO 26262, safety cases, SOTIF, safety-security alignment, automotive

SCSC 1-Day Seminar: Safety Assurance for AI Systems

One-line summary: An SCSC seminar on assuring AI systems themselves, rather than using AI in safety work.

Why join?
Assuring AI systems under uncertainty and non-determinism, with sessions on safety-assurance gaps, the UK’s AI-assurance ecosystem, and the benefits and risks of LLMs in assurance.

Editorial note: This clashes with the opening day of the Functional Safety Barcamp (below). If your interest is structured AI-assurance methods, the London seminar is the stronger fit; if it is open peer exchange, the Barcamp is.

Keywords: AI assurance, assurance cases, uncertainty, autonomous systems, safety argumentation

Functional Safety Barcamp 2026

One-line summary: A participant-led “unconference” for the functional safety community.

Why join?
Bring your own functional safety questions to participant-led talks, workshops and discussions. Two half-days built around cross-industry peer exchange rather than a fixed speaker program.

Keywords: peer exchange, practitioner community, cross-industry, ISO 26262, IEC 61508

Safetronic 2026

One-line summary: A long-running conference on the holistic safety of road vehicles.

Why join?
A standards-convenor panel, OEM and supplier sessions on automated-driving safety and SOTIF, and an AI-in-vehicles track covering ISO/PAS 8800 compliance and safety arguments for embedded AI.

Editorial note: November’s conference is on-site. The evening keynote, dinner, and networking require the Full Package. Dates overlap with Hazards 36, the process-industry pick below.

Keywords: SOTIF, ISO/PAS 8800, automated driving, AI safety, safety methods

T6A Symposium: Guidance in Functional Safety Compliance

One-line summary: The 61508 Association’s biennial functional safety symposium.

Why join?
IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 third-edition updates, CASS assessment workshops, BESS functional safety, and panels on competence and AI, with time for questions and discussion.

Keywords: IEC 61508, conformity assessment, cross-industry, standards update, competence

Industry-adjacent events coming up in November ’26

Hazards 36

One-line summary: Industry-adjacent: one of the longest-running process safety conferences, with confirmed functional safety content.

Why join?
Specific functional safety sessions on IEC 61511 FSA4 in operation, IEC 61508/61511 principles for electrical protection, and the applicability of IEC 61508 to BESS battery-management systems.

Editorial note: Expect a process-industry (IEC 61511) framing. Worth it if your work sits where functional safety meets process safety and SIS.

Keywords: IEC 61511, IEC 61508, safety instrumented systems, barrier management, process safety

The next full edition of the Functional Safety Events Radar returns mid-November, with the rest of November and December in full detail.
