AI Hce2023 Billboard Background

For First-Timers


AIHce EXP 2023 is one of the best opportunities for IH/OEHS professionals to learn the latest research and techniques, network with peers, and dive deeper into issues affecting the profession and the workers we protect. But we also know it can be overwhelming (even intimidating) to tackle this conference for the first time – and perhaps by yourself! That’s why we designed this quick info guide for you. Have more detailed questions? Check our Frequently Asked Questions and see if the answer you seek is there.

1. What opportunities are available for me during the conference?

AIHce EXP offers you opportunities to learn, network, explore career opportunities, and have fun, all in one stop! To highlight the major features available for first-timers, we've created a Journey Map to help you pick and choose the aspects most important to you.   

2. Is there anything on the schedule exclusively for first-timers?

YES! 

THIS WEBINAR HAS CONCLUDED.  

For those who missed it, you can view the recording here or download the First Timers' Webinar Presentation as PDF.

We will have a webinar specifically for our first-time attendees, typically within a few weeks of the conference (this year, it's scheduled for Wednesday, May 10 at 2:00 p.m. ET). We'll talk you through what to expect, what to prepare and pack, how to select sessions appropriate for your goals, and more! 


Additionally, we will hold a meet and greet on the Monday morning of the conference, May 22 at 6:30 a.m. PT, to provide an opportunity to network with other first-timers and plan your AIHce EXPerience!
