Every day builds on the last. And every delegate leaves with something to do.
GSIS isn't structured like a typical conference where each day is a fresh start. The three days are deliberately designed to move you somewhere from understanding, to application, to action.
The program.
SUNDAY 7 FEBRUARY
Welcome Reception
6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Pearls Bar, Sheraton Grand Mirage
The Summit starts the night before. Come along, grab a drink, and start meeting the people you'll be spending the next three days with. It's relaxed and easy, just a good way to arrive.
MONDAY 8 FEBRUARY Day 1: The Case for Change
followed by Poolside Dinner
8:30 am – 5:30 pm
Day 1 is built around the big questions. Why do workplaces keep failing in the same ways? What does the research actually tell us about effective safety leadership? What are regulators really looking for and where do most organisations fall short?
International keynote speakers set the scene, practitioners share what the journey looks like in the real world, and legal experts tackle the gap between what compliance requires and what genuine duty of care actually demands
If you're bringing an executive or board member, Day 1 is the day to bring them
Day 1 wraps up with a poolside dinner on the Sheraton's famous lagoon lawns. One of the best nights of the year every year.
TUESDAY 9 FEBRUARY Day 2: Science, Systems & New Thinking
followed by SafetyStock 2.0
9:00 am – 5:30 pm,
Day 2 goes deeper. The morning opens with a provocation about where safety thinking is heading and then delegates spread across 12 concurrent workshops running in two blocks throughout the day.
Each workshop has two parts: expert content first, then facilitated application. So you don't just learn what the research says — you work through what it means for your organisation, with the expert in the room with you.
Choose two workshops from topics including:
How to make critical risk controls actually work
What AI really offers safety — and where it creates new problems
Moving from incident investigation to genuine learning
How to measure what actually matters, and stop measuring what doesn't
Contractor and supply chain safety
Psychosocial risk from new legislative duties to what actually works in practice
The future of the safety profession
...and more
Day 2 finishes with SafetyStock 2.0 GSIS's signature off-site evening event. The location and format are a surprise every year. We'll let the 2024 attendees do the talking.
"SafetyStock was something I had never experienced before at a conference. So good!"
"It rocked, literally during the day and into the night at SafetyStock!"
WEDNESDAY 10 FEBRUARY Day 3: Making Change Stick
(including Farewell Drinks)
9:00 am – 7:00 pm
The final day tackles the hardest part: what happens when you get back to work.
Day 3 opens with honest stories from organisations who tried to put what they learned into practice what worked, what didn't, and what they'd do differently. Then it moves into ask-the-expert workshops, where you bring a real challenge and the facilitators help you work through it.
The day closes with the whole faculty assembled on stage for a live Q&A on the questions delegates have been voting on throughout the Summit. And before everyone leaves, every delegate fills out a single card: the one thing I'll do differently in the next 90 days. You keep it, photograph it, or hand it to someone in the room who'll check in on you. Simple. But it works.
Choose two workshops from topics including:
Leadership as the most powerful safety lever
Safety culture how to actually diagnose and shift it
Fatigue, rosters and genuine human performance risk
Building the business case for change
Safety in construction, healthcare, high-hazard and remote environments
Investigation and learning redesigning the approach
How to make safety initiatives stick after the conference is over
...and more
