Seminar header image

Posted on October 23, 2025

Planning for the 2026 Safer Buildings Coalition Seminar season is already underway! We encourage all members to participate — as sponsors, speakers, or tabletop exhibitors. Below is an overview of the process, key dates, and ways to get involved.

HOW TO EXHIBIT OR SPONSOR

You can participate in the 2026 Seminar Series in one of two ways:

  • Sponsor: Includes speaking opportunities, planning input, and an exhibit table at the event. Sponsors may also purchase a Same-Day Bonus Event — a 2-hour session following the seminar to host their own meeting or demo.
  • Tabletop Exhibitor: For those who prefer to display products and network without a speaking slot.

Please note that you must be a Safer Buildings Coalition member to exhibit at one of our seminars. members have been sent a Planning Survey already. If you didn't get this, please contact us by emailing [email protected]
