IPMI Kicks Off 2023 Event Roster in Music City with the EHS Management Institute
…And we’re back! After the roller coaster that was 2022, we are thrilled to have successfully executed our first program of the new year, setting the stage for what will hopefully be our best year yet. On an annual basis, IPMI kicks-off the event roster with the EHS Management Institute, bringing together leading EHS&S executives from Fortune 1000-sized organizations for two-and-a-half days of information exchange and networking. Last month hosted this esteemed group at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, and you can bet the networking component of the gathering revolved around a great band and fantastic music.
Music city aside, the program delved into critical areas needed to accelerate the impact of EHS teams, assessing ways to drive business value across the organization. The role of the EHS executive is constantly evolving, and the program addressed ways to adapt to changing macroeconomic and organizational forces.
The esteemed speaker faculty from global organizations such as Westrock, Airgas & Air Liquide Inc., American Axle & Manufacturing, Ceridian, Benchmark Digital Partners, PepsiCo and Aecom – to name a few – highlighted strategic roadmaps created to ensure success within the EHS&S function as we look beyond 2023 and into the future of work and safety as we know it.
Opportunities to meet with innovations and solutions in the field complemented the thought leadership component as attendees drew insight from senior representatives from some of the most cutting-edge technologies and creative solutions moving the needle on actualizing and advancing EHS&S initiatives. Attendees were able to sit down for private, one-on-one discussions with these innovation leaders for in-depth consultations, an exclusive and valuable piece of the annual program.
Breakout sessions such as Think Tanks and Roundtable discussions ensured executives had a safe space to deep-dive into key challenges they were facing on an intimate level, exploring a variety of topics from talent management in transportation to navigating the hybrid workforce, and developing cultures of safety in the workplace.
Overall, the program sought to provide practical tools and takeaways for four key themes: tackling technology’s place in the working world of tomorrow, the role of EHS in sustainability and ESG priorities, harnessing a safety mindset in an increasingly distributed workforce, and restructuring organizational welfare and safety operations within the widening scope of the EHS function.
The next EHS Management Institute will set the stage for the new year from January 28th – 30th. 2024 at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort and Spa in Ponte Vedra, FL!
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our 2023 Advisory Committee Members, esteemed Speaker Faculty, Sponsoring Partners and of course our fantastic delegation who truly capitalized on everything the program had to offer – music city itself included!
