Definition
Advancing Construction Safety Leadership is Hanson Wade's annual conference for safety directors, VPs of safety, and executive leadership responsible for construction safety performance. In its 7th year in 2026 (held in Dallas), the conference attracts 60+ senior safety executives for 18+ speaker presentations and 7+ hours of structured networking. The 2026 program focuses on operationalizing safety culture—translating executive commitment into measurable field behavior change—alongside emerging technology applications. AI safety content covers: predictive safety AI (Oracle's Construction Safety Advisor approach), computer vision PPE detection deployment, AI-powered safety observation analysis, wearable technology integration, and data governance requirements for effective safety AI. The conference also addresses the human dimension of safety technology adoption: how to ensure AI tools enhance rather than replace the human relationships and trust that drive safety culture. Hanson Wade is planning the 2027 edition.
