Celebrating 40 Years of Compliance Leadership
HOUSTON – On January 29, 2026, DISA Global Solutions hosted its annual Screening, Safety & Strategy Conference, gathering 1,000 industry leaders and professionals for an event that featured 27 speakers across 22 sessions. Since its launch in 2018, the event has grown into the nation's leading HR screening conference, delivering critical updates on regulatory compliance and best practices.
Over the last two years, this annual gathering has been the largest conference of its kind. The Screening, Safety, & Strategy Conference offers attendees a deep dive into HR trends shaping the future of workforce management, employee screening, and compliance challenges.
As employers face increasing complexity in hiring and safety, events like these play a crucial role in keeping industry leaders up to date on trends. By attending, employers can stay on top of their organizations’ compliance needs, aligning them against changing regulations, and walk away from the conference armed with best practices from other industry leaders.
The conference agenda was anchored by subject-matter experts who addressed the most pressing challenges in the industry. The 2026 lineup featured a "who's who" of compliance and legal authorities, including several notable speakers who regularly keynote other events:
