Cority Connect 2020 Snapshot

Cority Connect

The numbers keep growing, connections keep strengthening, and knowledge keeps expanding.  Now in its 20th year,  we recently hosted our annual conference, Cority Connect,  in Nashville, TN, marking our biggest year yet! If you’ve never heard of Cority Connect, let me fill you in.

The major annual EHSQ industry conference is designed to bring together health and safety professionals to engage with one another, discuss industry trends and learn the ins and outs of Cority’s solution. It’s a unique opportunity for our clients to gain hands-on Cority training, meet with our team, ask any burning questions, and learn about the product roadmap. With over 450 people in attendance from all around the world, there are unparalleled networking opportunities, accompanied by a little (or a lot), of fun! Here are some of the conference highlights: 

Follow the Expert Blueprint

Although there isn’t a one-size-fits-all way to integrate Cority, our clients have been through it all and want you to learn from them. This year we had 14 customers share their stories and teach other Cority users how they’ve successfully implemented, adopted, and benefited from an integrated EHSQ solution. These sessions are always a conference highlight since there’s really no better way to learn than from those who have walked in your shoes. 

Learning is Limitless

With 55 expert-led sessions spanning over 5 specialized tracks, the learning at Cority Connect is far from short. This year we had various General Session presentations, including Verdantix, RMS, Siemens Healthineers, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and presentations from Cority’s Management team. The specialized track presentations are hosted by the Cority Product Management team that are highly experienced with the specific Cority solution. This is where you get all the training you need, learn about new features, the vision for the product, and hear from customer speakers. Whether you’re new to Cority or an advanced user, there’s content for everyone.

Exciting Partnership Announcement

This year we were joined by Darren Sutton, elite performance psychologist from RMS Switzerland, as one of our Keynote Speakers. During his presentation, he made the exciting announcement that Cority will be delivering the world’s only IOSH Certified Behavioral Safety Leadership Program through an exclusive partnership with Dr Andrew Sharman, one of the world’s leading safety experts and President of IOSH, and RMS. Interested in learning more?

Learning, connecting, training, discussing, collaborating, and entertaining. These are all words that came to mind when we asked attendees on their Cority Connect experience. Re-live the event here: 

Thank you to our amazing clients, partners, and team who helped make this conference a huge success! If you’re interested in attending next year, mark your calendar for March 1-4, 2021 in San Diego.
