About this Event
11th Annual NS Health & Safety Charter Conference
October 20, 2026
Join us on October 20 for the 11th Annual NS Health & Safety Charter Conference, taking place at the Steele Wheels Motor Museum, 66 Otter Lake Court, Halifax.
The Steering Committee is pleased to present a forward-looking program focused on:
Leading Safely in the Age of AI
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how organizations identify risk, strengthen prevention, and create safer workplaces. This year's conference will equip senior leaders with the insight and practical direction needed to understand AI's potential- and lead its responsible use- to shape the future of occupational health and safety in Nova Scotia.
This year will feature two highly regarded keynote speakers:
- Matt Symms, CEO and founding partner of Symplicity Designs
- Robert Newcombe, P. Eng., Founder and CEO of AI-First Consulting
In addition, a panel of Nova Scotia leaders will discuss their organizations' AI journeys, lessons learned to date, and their vision for the future. Together, these discussions will examine how AI can become a gamechanger in advancing workplace health and safety and helping make Nova Scotia's workplaces among the safest in Canada.
