Join us for the 2027 Kirkwood Safety Conference on March 25, 2027, at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center. This one-day event is designed for all individuals involved in their companies' safety programs who aim to refresh their safety perspectives and seek opportunities to learn new and best practices. Network with fellow safety professionals, participate in engaging breakout sessions led by skilled presenters, explore diverse vendor offerings, and enjoy a delicious meal.


Featured keynote speaker Mercedes Ramirez Johnson will present "Safety: Don't Count on Second Chances," exploring how experience, familiarity, and confidence can lead people to overlook procedures, take shortcuts, or lose focus. Through a compelling real-world safety story, Mercedes shares practical lessons that apply across every industry and challenges attendees to make safety an intentional part of every decision. Participants will leave with a renewed commitment to personal accountability and looking out for one another. Her message is clear: Safety is more than a mandate - it is a mindset, and second chances cannot be counted on.
