* Retail/Grocery/Public Facilities
* Legal/Regulation/Insurance/Risk Management

The events' keynote speaker will be John Quiñones, ABC News veteran, creator & host of What Would You Do? and will discuss the media's view of safety.
Risk and safety professionals, attorneys, insurers, architects, forensic engineers, consultants, facilities managers, building service contractors, flooring and floor care manufacturers, and safety footwear suppliers are encouraged to attend.
A call for speakers is currently open through 15th December, 2022. Attendee registration will open in March 2023.
