As we approach the unofficial end to summer with the upcoming Labor Day Weekend, now is also a great time to reflect on the what I hope has been a safe and productive year so far for everyone with regards to your road safety programs.   

Having spent a large portion of my career in the private sector addressing a myriad of unique and challenging road safety initiatives, I also carry many fond memories of the tremendous energy and networking opportunities brought forth when I attended the annual NETS Strength IN Numbers® Benchmark conference . The opportunity to personally network and interact with some of the industry’s most sought after experts and thought-leaders in the road safety arena, as well as many peers and like-minded road safety colleagues, continues to make the NETS conference a can’t miss event for anyone seeking to drive improvements in their organization’s road safety programs. 

In response to the “multiple hats” many road safety professionals are carrying these days we have carefully planned our conference agenda to address a wide range of emerging road safety issues, technologies and regulations alike. 

New this year will also be special breakout sessions for those employers who carry heavy good vehicles as part of their vehicle fleet. I encourage you to review the full agenda and additional presentation topics in what is shaping up to be one of our most complete and wide-ranging set of proceedings on record. 

NETS Annual Conference Speakers and Full Agenda

Whether you are a road safety professional, fleet management specialist, risk manager or occupational health and safety professional, this year’s conference is sure to have something for everyone.  Registration continues to build and I look forward to having you and/or fellow members of your road safety team join us in October!

Thanks again to everyone for your time, energy and commitment to keeping our roads safe for everyone.
