Since 1992, CANECT has been the foremost event for Canadian environmental managers, plant personnel, government policy-makers, lawyers and consultants with responsibilities for environmental affairs. It is a unique opportunity to:
- ensure you and your staff receive necessary environmental and hazardous materials training;
- update your own environmental management skills;
- gain access to Canada's leading environmental experts; and
- demonstrate your organization's commitment to due diligence.
Over 40 top-notch presenters representing Canada’s leading-edge environmental trainers, lawyers, consultants, managers, administrators, and health & safety practitioners are scheduled to participate in the 10 workshop sessions at our 2008 event.
CANECT has been the leading event of its kind in Canada for the past fifteen years, attracting some 2,000 tradeshow visitors and conference delegates in 2007. Attendees are a high quality audience of senior people responsible for environmental engineering, regulations and compliance issues.
CANECT 2008 will be co-located with Health & Safety Canada, an annual tradeshow of the Industrial Accident Prevention Association (IAPA) that attracts over 6,000 delegates.
The close relationship between occupational health and safety inside the factory gates and environmental health and safety beyond corporate boundaries has long been recognized. By co-locating CANECT 2008 with Health & Safety Canada 2008, our exhibitors will have an exceptional opportunity to efficiently reach the largest total gathering of
all those who specify - or who influence the specification - of environmental products and services.
Combined, the two shows are expected to attract some 500 exhibiting companies and 8,000 tradeshow visitors. Tradeshow badges from
either show will allow attendees to have admission to both shows.
