Safety Leadership Conference

Safety First, Leadership Always

Oct. 16, 2024

Visual highlights from Safety Leadership Conference 2024.

For three days in August, Denver, Colorado, was the epicenter for high-performing safety cultures, as the EHS Today hosted the 13th annual Safety Leadership Conference (SLC 2024). Not only were 300 EHS professionals in attendance for compelling sessions from more than 30 safety leaders, but also representatives from the winners of the 2024 America’s Safest Companies Award.

For starters, SLC 2024 featured keynote presentations from AT&T’s Jalayna Bolden, 6-time Olympic Gold medalist Amy Van Dyken, and a panel of America’s Safest Company winners: Kevin Colwell (Brieser Construction), Nicole Seabaugh (AtkinsRéalis US Nuclear), and Guy Mills (The Clorox Company). There were also 17 sessions organized into five topic areas: Risk Management, Regulatory Compliance, The ROI of Safety, Safety Technology, and Training & Engagement. Plus four workshops, a tabletop expo, and numerous networking events.

And one of the highlights of SLC 2024 was an award ceremony featuring not only the 8 winners of the 2024 America’s Safest Companies awards, but thanks to our co-location partnership with VPPPA, winners of the VPPPA’s Health & Safety Awards were also honored.

The following pages offer visual highlights from SLC 2024 (unless otherwise noted, all photos were taken by Peyton Lissau, associate multimedia designer for EHS Today's owner, Endeavor Business Media).

Stay tuned for details on the upcoming Safety Leadership Conference 2025.
