The 37th annual Texas-Louisiana EHS Seminar & Industry Tradeshow will take place June 2-5 at the Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, Texas, providing attendees with an engaging experience in a new location.
Hosted by the Texas Chemistry Council (TCC), Louisiana Chemical Association, Texas Chemistry Alliance (TCA) and the Louisiana Chemical Industry Alliance, this is the premier event for advancing safety and regulatory excellence in the chemical industry.
Whether you are an operator, engineer, site manager or executive, the seminar is designed to foster personal growth and professional development, while enhancing excellence in safety. It provides attendees with the opportunity to expand their knowledge, learn best practices and network with industry peers. This year's seminar features a wide range of educational tracks, including leadership, process safety, sustainability, smart safety, AI and emergency response.
Attendees can tailor their experience by choosing from various sessions across four days, earning continuing education credits along the way. We are pleased to welcome mental health SME Allan Kehler as this year's keynote speaker on Wednesday, June 4. Kehler's insights on mental health and creating supportive environments promise to inspire.
We are grateful to BASF Freeport for sponsoring this important session. The industry tradeshow is an excellent opportunity for companies to exhibit and connect with key decision-makers, including site managers, safety professionals, environmental engineers and executives who are eager to discover solutions to enhance their operations and improve safety. Exhibitors will have unparalleled access to professionals actively seeking innovative solutions. From live demonstrations to personal engagement, exhibitors can establish meaningful connections that drive business growth.
With over 120 booths, the exhibit floor will showcase cuttingedge technologies, equipment and services essential to our industry. The seminar's success is due in large part to our member company volunteers who invest hundreds of hours in planning, coordinating and securing expert speakers. The EHS Seminar Committee works hard to provide attendees with informative education sessions and continuing education credits for a variety of professional certifications.
