Conferences, events, meetings and other get-togethers are the lifeblood of specialist sectors like construction, health and safety, and asbestos. Every one is a chance to make contacts, learn from the experts, and share your own insight and experience. Here’s our list of all the essential meetings, briefings and other dates for your diary.
2-3 October 2024
Farnborough International
Safety, Health and Wellbeing Live is split into two events in the North and South of England. Both follow a similar format, so workplace safety and occupational health professionals can expect sessions delivered by industry and regulatory experts, panel debates, and multiple opportunities to network.
8-9 October 2024
Mercure St Paul’s Hotel, Sheffield
This year the FAAM conference moves a little further north, with an in-person event in Sheffield. Expect a gathering of researchers, academics, practitioners and regulators, and a focus on scientific topics around the assessment, control and management of asbestos. FAAM conferences are at the forefront of the science of asbestos removal, a real don’t-miss event!
9-10 October 2024
Holiday Inn, Garforth, Leeds
Mesothelioma UK holds several key events throughout the year, with the aim of supporting the community and building understanding of how to live well with the disease. The 2024 Patient & Carer day takes place in Leeds, and as usual it’s free to attend for all mesothelioma patients and carers.
This year the charity is doing something slightly different, with a community dinner taking place the evening before at the hotel. The goal is to give attendees more time to chat and network both among themselves and with the Mesothelioma UK team. Use the link below to find out more and book your tickets.
27 November 2024
Edinburgh International Conference Centre
This will be the first time Health and Safety Matters brings its conference to Scotland. The team is promising a free-to-attend event featuring CPD-accredited seminars and a mock-trial based on Scottish legislation. It’s running alongside a sustainability conference hosted by NEBOSH.
2-4 December 2024
ExCel London
The Safety & Health Expo’s December 2024 dates come 18 months after the 2023 show, so there should be plenty to catch up on. In particular, I’ll try to update this post with the suppliers in attendance.
This year the Safety & Health Expo is merging with three other co-located events, under the branding ‘Anticipate London’. It will still have a core focus on workplace health, safety and staff wellbeing, but will now reflect the rapidly evolving smart technology landscape and how it impacts on keeping people safe.
12-13 December 2024
Marriot Grand Palace Hotel, Brussels
Speaking of don’t-miss events, the EAF conference again takes up its year-ending slot, in mid-December. There aren’t yet many details beyond this year’s theme, ‘Asbestos: The Legacy’. Doubtless, event organiser Dr Yvonne Waterman will put together another deeply inspiring event, bringing together a diverse range of experts, campaigners, victims and policymakers. If you have a professional interest in asbestos, this conference is simply essential.
22-23 January 2025
Manchester Central
Safety, Health and Wellbeing Live is split into two events in the North and South of England. Both follow a similar format, so workplace safety and occupational health professionals can expect sessions delivered by industry and regulatory experts, panel debates, and multiple opportunities to network.
