31 st International Systems Safety Conference Conference Sponsor & Exhibitor Invitation The International System Safety Society is pleased to invite sponsors and exhibitors to join the premier international conference supporting the safety professional in the application of systems engineering and management to the process of hazard, safety, and risk analysis for the development of systems, products, and services. The sponsor and exhibitor Exhibition is an integral part of the conference with the intention to provide up to-date information on system safety methodologies, tools, and industries involved in system safety practices. Conference Theme/Topics The theme for this year s conference is Safety for the Long Run. The theme picks up on a number of parallels between the types of things one might do to prepare for a marathon run, and the elements of an effective system safety program. These include the importance of proper training, having a well thought out plan, getting off to a good start, avoiding obstacles and distractions, and keeping enough in reserve for a successful sprint to the finish. The goal of this conference is to bring practitioners and the foremost thinkers within the system safety discipline together to exchange ideas, knowledge, experiences and best practices. Date/Location The downtown Boston Marriott Copley Place in Boston, Massachusetts, will be our venue for the August 12-16-2013, ISSS conference. The Marriott at Copley Square, located in the heart of the city, is a short stroll to historic sites and cultural attractions as well as many restaurants. Copley Square hosts the finish line for the Boston Marathon, the inspiration for the conference theme. Sponsor and Exhibitor booths will be featured in a hall co-located with session breaks and social functions, including the Exhibitor Social, to ensure that attendees have many opportunities to speak with you. 2013 International System Safety Conference: Safety for the Long Run.
