Safety 2017 achieves record number of attendees and exhibitors
The final numbers are in, and the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) has officially held its biggest safety conference and exposition in the event’s 56-year history. ASSE’s Safety 2017 Professional Development Conference & Exposition in Denver attracted 5,244 attendees and 640 exhibitors in June, easily surpassing its previous highs. Attendance was up 23 percent from last year’s event.
“I think the main ingredient to our success is that our Society remains extremely relevant and valuable to our members, who are enthusiastic about growing personally and professionally,” said David Natalizia, chair of the ASSE Professional Development Conference Planning Committee. “They are committed to absorbing as much knowledge as possible to help their companies better protect workers in every industry. Our record-setting numbers are a tribute to their dedication to the safety and health field.”
