2025 Safety+ Symposium Call for Thought Leadership |
Take Safety to the Next Level at Safety+
VPPPA's Safety+ Symposium is the only national event that supports safety professionals across all career stages, from the frontline to the C-Suite. At the heart of Safety+ is the power of continuous improvement, and one of the ways we enable our attendees to experience that power firsthand is by offering exceptional education throughout the event.

Content Focus Areas
- Construction Safety
- Management Leadership & Employee Involvement

- Learning objectives should follow the SMART framework, and be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.
- Consider who will benefit most from your presentation, and in what ways they will benefit.
- Only proposals submitted through the portal by the deadline will be considered. Proposals must be complete at the time of submission.
- You are welcome to submit as many proposals as you'd like, however due to the limited amount of speaking opportunities, we must limit the number of sessions presented by a single speaker.
