Welcome to the official blog to NOSA's annual conference: NOSHCON 2010. The aim of this blog is to inform you, about the ins and outs of NOSHCON as we start the countdown to Africa's largest occupational risk management conference. We'll correspond with our valued speakers, discuss relevant health and safety matters and keep you updated on NOSHCON.

Almost 50!

Not many conferences run for more than 10 years, let alone 50! With next year's 50th NOSHCON, this event will surely make history. I have attended many conferences and events, good ones and then, the not so good ones. What is the 'secret recipe' of a good conference? One can never pinpoint it down to one single success factor - it is a combination of many things - and that is the winning recipe for NOSHCON. It is a combination of quality presentations, relevant content, networking opportunities, socialising and enjoying self development on a 'different level' - away from the office. I have recently attended the NOSCAR banquet, hosted by NOSA and organised by the same team who is responsible for NOSHCON - and if this is the benchmark - I can not wait for NOSHCON 2010. I bet it will be the best ever! I have been fortunate to have been involved in 14 NOSHCONs and every year the claim is made: "this will be the best ever!" And for 49 years they have succeeded in improving and keeping the conference programme innovative and relevant. Fifty years of successful conferencing for NOSHCON - well done NOSA! Half a century of bringing the SHEQ industry together each year - truly amazing!

    Thank you Donne! Yes that is indeed true - we aim to improve NOSHCON each and every year and we agree, NOSHCON rocks. Not only do we bring our valued delegates the industry leaders, the pioneers of our industry - but we are already in phase two of exhibition. Marvelous! Our stands are genuinely flying out the front door.

    We look forward to seeing you at NOSHCON 2010 - but just a friendly word of warning, don't delay in registering, book today!

    Kind regards,
    The NOSHCON Team
