Five Great Reasons to Attend Lifesavers (back to top)
1. Geared for All, a Great Value
The Lifesavers Conference is different from other highway safety conferences because it’s geared towards novice as well as seasoned safety practitioners who are working at the local, state and national level to address the nation’s most pressing roadway problems. Whether you’re a state or local highway safety official, police officer or first responder, private or non-profit program provider, student or academician, Lifesavers’ comprehensive program affords you the opportunity to expand your knowledge and network with the nation’s leading traffic safety experts in just two and a half days. And all of this is offered at a highly affordable price that won’t bust your budget. How is that possible? The volunteer-led Lifesavers Conference Board of Directors and Planning Committee control costs by soliciting sponsorships, holding the conference off-season, and co-hosting the event with the state highway safety office. An early-bird registration fee and a limited number of government-rate rooms at our conference hotels are also available to ensure you don’t miss the nation’s premiere safety conference.

“I can’t thank my state highway safety office enough for giving my agency a grant so that I could attend Lifesavers. It was my first one and I’m going to lobby like crazy to attend next year.”

2. Proven Programs, Hot Topics
The Lifesavers Planning Committee is driven to develop a workshop agenda that includes cutting-edge programs that are proven, through research and/or evaluation, to work. They also reach out to past conference attendees, monitor the headlines, and query TRB, NHTSA and other safety organizations to identify hot topics. From distracted driving and walking to impairment caused by prescription and synthetic drugs and over-the-counter medications, you can count on Lifesavers to focus on these and other emerging issues at the 2013 conference. Also on tap for Denver – workshops discussing the latest enforcement and judicial initiatives, advances in occupant protection, programs to assist vulnerable and high-risk roadway users, along with the latest research and policy developments, new technologies, and much more. Each workshop will feature a panel of knowledgeable speakers who are carefully vetted to ensure they not only know the subject, but can engage and energize an audience. Every one of the more than 80 Lifesavers workshops is designed to provide information and tools that you can immediately put into practice. Some of the workshops also offer continuing education credits, making your participation at Lifesavers an even greater value.

3. National Leaders, Leading Experts
The nation’s top safety professionals including leaders of the U.S. Department of Transportation, NHTSA, FHWA, FMCSA, NTSB, AASHTO, AAA, NSC, GHSA, IIHS, MADD, auto and insurance industries, and more participate annually in the Lifesavers Conference and send numerous members of their staff. With the passage of a new highway reauthorization bill, MAP-21, attendees at the 2013 Lifesavers Conference will learn during the opening plenary session “what’s in it for them” from the leading architects of the legislation. The NHTSA Administrator will also once again keynote the annual public service awards luncheon where dedicated individuals who are recognized as experts in their fields along with highly effective traffic safety programs will be honored. |

4. Tremendous Networking Opportunities
Now in its 31st year, Lifesavers attracts nearly 1,700 U.S. and international safety professionals who are working diligently to reduce motor vehicle crashes and the resulting injuries and fatalities that occur daily on our roadways. You’ll have numerous opportunities throughout the conference for formal and informal peer exchange and networking. Every workshop also features a question and answer session that is led by a skilled moderator tasked with facilitating audience participation. Additionally, workshop presenters welcome the opportunity for one-on-one discussion following their sessions. An online attendees list is also made available to all participants so you can continue the dialogue once you return home. |

5. State-of-the-Art Products, Friendly Exhibitors
More than 100 companies, organizations and government agencies exhibit their latest products, services, programs and/or publications annually at Lifesavers. In fact, some companies exhibit only at Lifesavers because of the number and broad cross-section of safety professionals who are drawn to the event. The exhibits are staffed by dedicated individuals who, just like you, are committed to saving lives and many come back year-after-year citing the warm welcome they receive from Lifesavers attendees and organizers.

“The exhibit hall featured a variety of companies that were friendly, but not pushy. They had a lot to offer.”
