Conference Changes

You’ve heard about the changes in the educational program coming for NEHA’s 2008 AEC & Exhibition. A Lecture Hall and a Learning Laboratory and some new ways to receive the education you are looking for are being planned. What do you think about these changes? We’d love to hear from you!

Connect

NEHA’s AEC & Exhibition is traditionally a great place to connect with other environmental health professionals, develop important relationships and share information. Who are you looking to connect with at this year’s AEC & Exhibition? Other food safety professionals? Environmental health professionals from the east coast? Joe from Des Moines who you met a couple of years ago? Use this blog to begin finding your connections and building your own EH communities now. We'll be offering “Birds of a Feather” meeting rooms so you can "flock" together and meet in person while at the AEC.

Conference Schedule Updates

In this section, we’ll post any last minute changes or updates to the 2008 AEC & Exhibition schedule as soon as they are available. Check out the comments section below for new updates!
