2015 – our first year: Who knew a conference could be so much work? We were very lucky in being able to get Dr. Christine Branch, from NIOSH to speak as our Keynote.
2016 – a second annual conference: WOW. We started a thing! And our Keynote was really awesome. Carl Heinlein spoke on Serious Injury & Fatality.
2017 – a third annual conference (almost a tradition!): We were fortunate to have Mark Ames as our Keynote speaker, who spoke on Grass Roots Government Relations and You.

We outgrew our venue and moved to a new facility: We moved to the Radisson Inn, Rochester NY. Our Keynote was Dr. Wes Scott, who spoke on Advanced Safety Leadership. What a great speaker!
A new venue is not without issues, but we are addressing those we found last year, for this year’s conference. There will be plenty of food for lunch, (and shorter lines); better sound systems, and several other improvements. The Radisson Inn has been very helpful to us in arranging all these improvements.
