Synergist - April 2010

6: 30 p.m. to 7: 30 p.m. Attendees will have other occasions to network with colleagues, presenters, industry experts and AIHA staff during expo hours, lunch discussions, and countless local section and volunteer group meetings and events. The 26th annual AIHF Fun Run/Walk on Tuesday at 6: 30 a.m. also provides attendees with the opportunity to interact with associates and friends.

New additions. Programming tracks in H1N1 Flu Planning and Response, Green Practices and special interactive learning sessions have been added to this year’s AIHce roster. Among these interactive programs are “Soap Box Talks” to be held in the Expo Theater. These sessions allow attendees to express their opinions on OEHS issues. Presenters will be given five minutes to share their thoughts on an issue and five minutes for discussion with the audience. The focus should be related to the industrial hygiene profession. Submit your ideas for a Soap Box Talk in 50 words or less to AIHce2010soapbox@aiha.org.

Also new to the exposition hall is the Colorado Safety Association-sponsored Product Demo Theater, where exhibitors can demonstrate their products and services.

The expo will also showcase the AIHA Social Concerns Committee-sponsored photo display “Holding Mother Earth Sacred,” a collaboration between Earl Dotter, Cindy Becnel and four tribal communities, which illustrates the communities’ contributions to energy resource development, job creation and worker safety.
