This conference is open to Association members and non members alike. We have attendees across all professional demographics as safety affects everyone. The course offerings from TEEX OSHA Training Institute, as well as a wide variety of industry peer taught courses, makes this safety conference stand out among others. As this conference is hosted by a volunteer organization dedicated to safety education in the workplace, they are able to keep costs as low as possible for everyone… including the exhibitors. In fact we treat our exhibitors special… as an exhibitor you have access to ALL conference events and courses.
