The 2024 Safety+ Symposium, hosted by the Voluntary Protection Programs Participants' Association (VPPPA), has officially concluded. As attendees returned home from the Gaylord Rockies in Aurora, Colorado, the organization is turning its focus to next year’s event in St. Louis, Missouri, scheduled for August 11-14, 2025.

One of the key highlights from the 2024 conference was the unveiling of the VPPPA’s 40th anniversary theme, “VPPPA40: Celebrating the Past, Moving Forward into the Future.” This milestone will be celebrated throughout the upcoming year, with the 2025 symposium expected to be a focal point of the festivities as well as more offsite tours.

In addition, the 2025 event is set to deliver high-level professional development focused on Environmental, Health, Safety, and Sustainability (EHS&S). Labor and management professionals will benefit from sessions led by top experts, continuing the tradition of the Safety+ Symposium as destination event for occupational health and safety education.

VPPPA staff have announced that registration for the 2025 Safety+ Symposium will open in early 2025, with a call for proposals expected later in 2024. With the momentum of the 2024 event still fresh, the organization is eager to build on its recent successes to continue providing value to participants and attendees at next year’s event in St. Louis.
