Celebrating 40 Years of Compliance Leadership
The 2026 Screening, Safety, & Strategy Conference is the largest HR conference focused on employee screening in North America. For one day, we bring together HR professionals, compliance officers, and industry leaders for comprehensive education and networking to address the most critical workplace challenges.
Scheduled for January 29, 2026, at the Hilton Americas Downtown Hotel in Houston, Texas, this immersive conference offers 24 educational sessions that cover background screening, drug testing, transportation compliance, and HR strategy. Each attendee will leave with actionable insights and industry connections.
Below, we’ve outlined key topics and featured presenters from the upcoming conference.
The conference's full-day agenda runs from 10 AM to 8 PM. Registration opens at 8 AM; conference sessions run from 10 AM to 5 PM, and then the focus turns to networking and entertainment.
The conference offers unparalleled opportunities for professional development as well as Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for both SHRM and HRCI. Rather than forcing participants into a rigid session schedule, the 2026 Screening, Safety, & Strategy Conference allows attendees to tailor the experience to their unique needs and interests by choosing from multiple concurrent sessions across different tracks.
The conference serves HR professionals, compliance officers, safety managers, transportation executives, and business leaders who need to stay current on screening regulations and drug testing policies, along with anyone responsible for workforce compliance requirements.
Whether managing background checks for a Fortune 500 company or developing safety programs for a growing organization in oil and gas, industrials, transportation, or healthcare, attendees will find relevant sessions addressing their specific challenges while networking with peers who face similar obstacles.
The conference addresses critical background screening topics through expert-led sessions, helping organizations navigate today's complex regulatory and compliance environment.
Because modern HR departments must juggle multiple competing priorities, attendees will learn about both pre-employment background screening practices and continuous monitoring approaches that balance safety, privacy, and cost considerations.
Drug testing remains a central focus at the 2026 Screening, Safety, & Strategy Conference, with multiple sessions addressing the evolving landscape of workplace substance abuse programs. Attendees can expect to gain comprehensive insights into emerging risks and regulatory requirements.
Transportation professionals can look forward to sessions focused on DOT regulations and driver workforce management. Because the transportation industry faces unique compliance challenges that differ significantly from other sectors, this conference brings together industry peers to discuss current challenges, share solutions, and address regulatory mandates affecting the transportation sector.
Many HR departments are stretched thin while being asked to deliver increasingly complex compliance and talent management functions. During the conference, HR professionals will discuss the unspoken expectations leaders have of HR and dive into management or culture gaps, avoidable legal risks, and more. Attendees will leave with hard-earned insights, actionable strategies, and the clarity needed to elevate their HR team.
