PARK RIDGE, IL — The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) is seeking a diverse group of occupational safety and health professionals to join its team of presenters now being formed for its Safety 2026 Professional Development Conference and Exposition. The world’s oldest professional safety organization is an industry leader in promoting best practices that make safety an integral element of business.
Safety 2026 will be held June 15-17 in Anaheim, CA. Presentations should address key occupational safety and health issues as well as emerging matters and innovations relevant to the profession. Speakers have until Sept. 10 to submit their proposals to contribute to next year’s event.
“Our annual conference is a dynamic learning and networking experience that helps attendees expand their knowledge, find solutions to safety challenges and learn about the latest trends,” said ASSP President Linda Tapp, CSP, ALCM, CPTD. “Whether you’re an industry newcomer or seasoned practitioner, there’s always something more to learn to better protect workers at your organization.”
All speaker proposals for Safety 2026 will be reviewed by ASSP’s Conference Planning Committee.

Presentations are in person for one hour, including 15 minutes for questions. The committee will consider no more than two proposals per speaker.
“Presenting at our conference is a terrific opportunity to contribute to the career development of your colleagues while advancing our profession,” Tapp said. “It’s truly a rewarding experience.”
