More than 100 volunteers have dedicated their time and expertise to develop the educational sessions at the Ohio Safety Congress & Expo. The rewards of volunteering are numerous, including networking, visibility, an increased presence in the safety and health industry and first-hand involvement in the premier safety and health event in Ohio.

Speakers must submit a PowerPoint presentation and additional handout materials to BWC by Friday, March 19. Items must be submitted in a format for PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat or MS Word. Graphics files in .jpg or .bmp formats can not be accepted. Materials more than 4.0 MB in size must be submitted on CD to Ohio Safety Congress & Expo, 13430 Yarmouth Dr, Pickerington, Ohio 43147.

We will post session handouts on ohiobwc.com for download prior to and following the event. Participants are encouraged to print handouts for the sessions of their choice and take them to each presentation. BWC will not distribute handouts at the safety congress to reduce costs and save resources.

Online access to the session handouts will be available as they are received. All materials will be posted no later than Wednesday, March 24. Your audience members may not be adequately prepared to attend your presentation if materials are not submitted by the deadline.
