The Pulp & Paper Safety Association announced open registration for the 2023 Safety & Health Conference to be held June 11-14 at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida. Safety professionals throughout the forest products supply chain will gather for two-and-a-half-days filled with educational sessions, safety strategies, and critical up- dates. The latest technologies and advancements will be featured in the New Technology Showcase and guests will have direct access to top suppliers and consultants. This is a great opportunity to talk shop, connect with peers, and be inspired by other leaders with face-to-face networking. This year’s event is located within walking distance to SeaWorld and a short shuttle ride to Orlando’s famous at- tractions. Attendees and any accompanying family mem- bers can take advantage of the resort’s many amenities, including being poolside while the kids play in the water park, water slides and toddler play area. A respected din- ing mecca, Orlando’s restaurants offer up locally-sourced cuisine and artistic beverages. Register at ppsaconference.org before May 11 and book accommodations for early bird savings before the May 19 rate increase. Visit the conference’s site often for program updates.
