Celebrating 40 Years of Compliance Leadership
For nearly a decade, DISA has brought together HR leaders, safety professionals, screening experts, and compliance professionals for a day dedicated to learning, conversation, and connection.
On January 14, 2027, that tradition continues as DISA hosts its 9th Annual HR Screening, Safety, & Strategy Conference at the Marriott Marquis Houston in Houston, Texas. Known to many longtime attendees as Day with DISA, the annual conference has grown from more than 400 attendees in 2018 to an established industry event expected to welcome more than 1,000 professionals in 2027.
This year’s conference will feature 24 educational sessions and more than 24 industry presenters; attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from experts, stay current on important compliance developments, earn continuing education credit, and build relationships with professionals facing many of the same workforce challenges.
The 2027 HR Screening, Safety, & Strategy Conference is designed for professionals responsible for building safer workplaces, managing compliant workforce programs, and making informed decisions in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
Attendees include professionals working across a variety of teams:
Whether you manage these programs directly or advise the teams that do, the conference provides a full day of education and conversations relevant to your work.
The 2027 agenda will bring experts together to help employers understand what is changing, what may be coming next, and how those developments can affect their organizations.
Already-announced sessions address timely issues such as AI in background checks (including a panel called “AI/Automation in Screening - What You Need to Know”) and marijuana testing updates (“Drug Testing Methodologies Head-to-Head - What the Data Says”).
Attendees can build a schedule around the subjects most relevant to their roles and leave with practical ideas they can bring back to their organizations.
Our 2027 speaker lineup brings together experienced attorneys, regulatory and compliance professionals, HR leaders, transportation experts, drug-testing specialists, and workplace-safety professionals. Announced presenters include Pam Devata, Joe Beachboard, Faye Caldwell, Jo McGuire, Brenna Lyles, Ciera Parks, Juan Moya, and experts from DISA and other leading organizations.
Professional development is another important part of the conference experience: Attendees will have opportunities to earn six continuing education credits toward both SHRM and HRCI recertification while participating in sessions focused on HR, compliance, screening, and workplace safety.
Throughout the day, attendees will have opportunities to meet peers, exchange ideas, compare approaches, and connect with professionals working through similar challenges. The 2027 agenda also includes dedicated networking opportunities for HR leadership, compliance leaders, and recruiting, onboarding, and talent professionals, followed by evening networking and entertainment.
The conference continues to grow because attendees find value in both the content and the community. According to DISA’s 2026 post-conference attendee survey:
