Due to OSHA ETS being issued on November 4, and compliance required commencing December 5, we have had many requests to move up our conference to address the ETS requirements. Our conference will start with a panel presentation about the OSHA ETS and allow for Q&A! This will be followed by summary of the latest vaccine incentive and surcharge rules. If you are unable to attend on this new date you may request a refund or we will send you the recorded broadcast to watch when convenient for you. All presentations will be via Zoom. Schedule has changed slightly as follows:
