2011 Western Conference on Safety Completely Sold Ou
The 2011 Western Conference on Safety is now officially over. It was the largest event in its 16 year history with 804 registered delegates, 170 post-conference course attendees, 187 exhibit staff, 28 speakers and 15 volunteer/staff totalling up to 1204 people, making it the largest Occupational Safety and Health Conference west of Ontario. Our “sold out” level was 800 delegates but we didn’t have the heart to turn away the 4 people who registered on site. This means that the conference completely sold out for the first time since 2006. While we haven’t finished reviewing all the delegate evaluations yet, they are overwhelmingly positive. The conference steering committee will now be taking a few days off but will start planning work on the 2012 conference in just a couple of weeks. Thank you to the conference volunteers, speakers, staff and most of all, the hundreds and hundreds of people who attended.
--Terry Swain 2011 Western Conference on Safety Conference Chair.

WARNING - We received several phone calls this morning from our Western Conference on Safety exhibitors informing us that a company called “ Convention Housing Services” is calling Western Conference on Safety exhibitors and representing themselves as a booking agency for hotel guest rooms at the Western Conference on Safety. THEY ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE WESTERN CONFERENCE ON SAFETY nor the Pacific Safety Center in any manner whatsoever. We have NOT provided them with any contact information.

We have checked with the Hyatt Regency and they have informed us they are not holding any guest room blocks for any such organization. Given that we have never heard of them before today and that we cannot say who Convention Housing Services are, we suggest you exercise caution and do your own due diligence before providing any credit card information to them.
