2009 KCTCS Safety Conference
Agenda & Scheduled Sessions
Welcome to the 2009 KCTCS Safety Conference Safety Conference Web site!

The theme of the conference this year is: "Campus Safety – We’ve Got You Covered!" When you see the list of sessions we have arranged this year it will be evident that is the case. We are trying to present for all KCTCS colleges a wide array of timely speakers and presentations that will be useful NOW, not just when a major disaster occurs. The Keynote speakers are recognized experts in their fields and will provide you with the "view from the top" of the Crisis Response and Crisis Management world.

The conference schedule is different this year due to the construction at ECTC. On Day One everyone will follow the same agenda and will be together all day. On Day Two you will be assigned to either Track One or Track Two. The same topics will be presented in both tracks but will better accommodate an effective learning experience.

New this year is a night of fun and fellowship for those that wish to join in. A social event will be held at the Pine Valley Country Club on Tuesday night, including a golf scramble, corn-hole tournament, Karaoke, and lots of conversation and fun!

Lunches and continental breakfasts are included with your paid registration for both days of the conference. All times listed are EDT.
