Additionally, a live operation will be performed onsite and industry keynote speakers will cover varied topics related to occupational safety, health, federal and state legislation.
Conference organizers have thrown some fun into the informational mix, adding a casino night fundraiser and live entertainment event featuring San Francisco-based band, Third Eye Blind, who have recorded four best-selling albums. The Saturday, August 20th Casino night will benefit non-profit, Give Kids the World.
"We have a long history with this established conference where we meet annually with experts, customers and stakeholders engaged in promoting occupational safety and health.
