It’s almost here: In just a few weeks, the 2024 NSC Safety Congress & Expo will be in Orlando, FL.

Make plans to join us at the world’s largest annual gathering of safety professionals, set to take place Sept. 13-19 at the Orange County Convention Center.

Use your time at the show to learn how to make people safer, continue your safety journey and spend time with peers. Here are some of the event’s highlights:

Opening Session speaker Erik Weihenmayer is a blind adventurer who’ll talk about approaching safety with a “no barriers” mindset.

The Campbell Institute Forum will share a tailored strategy you can use to prevent serious injuries and fatalities in your workplace.

What’s the difference between Safety I and Safety II anyway? Find out during the Occupational Keynote, when Tim Page-Bottorff and Corrie Pitzer dig into the two schools of thought.

For the Closing Keynote, we’ve secured Kate Darling, a leading expert in social robotics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

As always, the event will offer more than 125 Technical Sessions and in-depth Professional Development Seminars. Make sure to also take advantage of our new Safety Huddle (Booth 671) area and NSC Learning Lab (Booth 3745) for additional learning opportunities.

Will it be your first time at the show? NSC is hosting First-Time Attendee and International meetups in the Time Out Café (Booth 745) on the Expo Floor, so make plans to stop by and introduce yourself to your fellow safety pros.

The latest safety products, services and technology will be on display in the New Product Showcase area. Three of those products will be crowned “Best in Show,” and you can play a part! Voting will take place onsite – and online – so choose your favorites and cast your votes.
