Based upon suggestions we received from attendees at our last in-person Conference, IEA has developed the first EH&S Boot Camp which will be offered at the 38th Annual Environmental Conference on the afternoon of June 3, from 12:45 – 3:15. The EH&S Boot Camp is a special session where experts will present Air/Water/Hazmat/H&S 101, and then break up into “Ask the Experts” mini-sessions to answer questions. This activity is intended for junior-mid level staff to get additional training and the opportunity to connect with experts in their field. EH&S Boot Camp is free to all Conference attendees and is also offered as a $99 non-conference option, so companies can send their junior level staff to this session at a lower cost.
