Current registration rates are showing a large pent up demand for the conference with the number of seats sold to date exceeding any other similar date in the conference’s 24 prior years. Currently there are over 540 people registered to attend, leaving less than 320 seats still available, including less than 30 “Monday Only” seats (Still lots of “Tuesday Only” Seats remaining).

Registration fees start at $495 – the only thing that hasn’t gone up since 2020. If you are coming from out of town the Hyatt Regency Vancouver (our conference hotel) has a special rate for conference attendees of only $259/night (plus taxes and fees) but reservations must be made by April 7/23 in order to get this rate. Reservations made after April 7/23 will be a the regular market rate. Click here for more information.
As of today (Feb. 22, 2023) registrations for the conference continue to be strong and are currently running 43% ahead of the 5 year average for this point before the conference (not including the 3 years the conference was canceled). If this strong rate of registrations continues we anticipate the conference will sell out, perhaps by the early payment deadline. If you are planning on attending we avoid missing out by booking your seat as soon as possible. For more information on how to register click here.
This conference may qualify for various professional designation maintenance points such as the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals, National Construction Safety Officer, National Health and Safety Administrator, and the Canadian Board of Occupational Hygienists. Check with your association for specific information.
As of January 30/23 conference registrations are running over 50% (!) ahead of 2019 levels on this date (2019 was the last time the conference ran). It seems that there is a large pent-up demand to come and take in everything that only an in-person occupational health and safety conference can provide. Make sure you register early to guarantee your seat!
