The Chicagoland Safety, Health, and Environmental Conference, held in September, is designed for EHS professionals, business owners, facility and plant managers, supervisors, safety committee members, HR managers, municipal representatives, and others responsible for safety, health, environmental management, training, and OSHA/EPA compliance.

The conference aims to deliver timely, relevant training in environmental management, workplace safety, health, professional development, and regulatory compliance.

Since 2016, it has hosted over 6,600 session attendees across 338 sessions, drawing more than 2,700 individuals from 34 states, 4 foreign countries, and 155 communities across Illinois. These attendees represent 467 companies spanning 32 different industries.

Over 50 attendees join the chapter of an afternoon of networking on the Chicago River. Hosted by the Greater Chicago Chapter, participants took a two hour tour of the central and south branches of the Chicago River. Attendees took in the sights, and had the opportunity to network with EHS professionals, service providers, and students from all over the Chicago area. 

The WISE Mentoring program successfully connects today’s most talented and experienced women mentors with rising and aspiring mentees. This pairing is designed to encourage and empower mentees to more effectively advance their careers through alignment with identified business objective, skill development, career option consideration, and network formation. All discussions are strictly confidential between the two parties. If you are an SH&E practitioner seeking to chart a successful career path or a seasoned pro eager to share experiences and insight, please visit the ASSP WISE website for more information.
