The AIHce2011 topics are more alined with my current focus. Additionally the 6th annual Greener Nano-science Conference which I was scheduled for is in Cupertino this year so I suppose it's not politically appropriate for me to attend, while the local AIHce2011 conference has a whole program track nano-materials and biosafety. The cost is $765 per person. I also agree with Heather that the AIHce2011 may be of value to others on the EHS staff. And by not attending the GOSH conference, I would be available to cover for those attending. Chuck's AIHce2011 proposed course list: Monday May 16: 8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. * Failure Is Not an Option 10:30 a.m.-12:10 p.m. * Laboratory Health and Safety 2:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. * Risk Assessment - Case studies Tuesday: 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. * Green Chemistry: A Strategic Opportunity for Industrial Hygiene 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. * Ask the Expert: An Update on the NIOSH Nanotechnology Research Program 2:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m * Integrated Solutions in Sustainable Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems Wednesday 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. * OSHA: Initiatives, Challenges, Directions 10:00 a.m.-Noon * All Things Radiation 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. * New Issues in Biological and Chemical Sampling and Analysis 5:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. * Nanotechnology: Assessment and Control Thursday 8:00 a.m.-12:20 p.m. * Aerosols 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. * The GHS is Coming - Will You Be Ready?
