Conference Highlights

The Mid America Safety, Health, and Environmental Conference and Expo is a safety and health event where you will experience in-depth professional development programs by some of the leading speakers in the nation, addressing all areas of occupational safety. These different areas include General Safety, Occupational Health, Environmental Safety, Construction Safety, Industrial Hygiene and Fire Safety and Loss Control. Over 80 educational and technical workshops will be available along with keynote presenters Chad Hymas and Bob Wendover and two additional general sessions. There is truly something for everyone who is involved and has a passion for occupational safety and health. If you have ever thought about getting your ASP, CSP or EHMM certification, this is your opportunity to participate in the pre-conference prep courses that will help you accomplish this goal. You can also earn your OSHA 10 Hour General Industry or Construction Certification in a pre-conference workshop. Pre-conference courses are available for an additional fee. Continuing Education Units (CEU's) are also available for the conference sessions you attend for an additional fee.

What is a sponsor and why should I be one?

If you are a Conference Sponsor you will automatically have your company logo posted in conference materials and recognition throughout the conference and depending on which level you choose, you can get much more. This is a great way to promote your company within your field and depending on your sponsorship level, possibly get free registrations for both the conference and the activities as well. For a description and information on the different sponsorship levels, click here.

What is an exhibitor and why should I be one?

An exhibitor at our conference is an on-site vendor who can have their products/services displayed for all attendees to see on Wednesday May 2, 2012 and Thursday May 3, 2012. This is a golden opportunity to converse with potential clients face to face and really get a foot in the door and start growing your sales. There is no better opportunity to promote within the industry than this. For more information on being an exhibitor, click here.
