Getting
Started Safely
Call 811 before you dig.
When it comes to digging safely, you make the call. Whether
you’re working on a large excavation, or simply planting a
tree in your yard, natural gas and utility line safety should
always be job one – and that means calling 811 before you dig.
Calling 811 helps you know where natural gas, electric, water
and other underground lines are located. It also helps you
avoid causing serious injuries, service interruptions, or possibly
costly fines for damaged infrastructure. Make the call. It’s easy.
It’s FREE. Respect the lines. Dig with care. After all, safety
is in your hands, but always on our minds.
We’re investing in infrastructure, technology and services that
help keep you safe.

OPENING SESSION 7:45 – 9:00 a.m. TUESDAY, MAY 4
KEYNOTE: Blaze Your Brain: Turn Negative Thoughts
into Positivity, Bigger Action, and Better Results
PRESENTER: Jessica Rector, Best-Selling Author, Speaker
In an economy where self-doubt, worry, and stress are at an all-time high, you have that voice inside your head
that never quits. It’s constantly saying things like, “What if it doesn’t work,” “What if I fail,” or “What’s going
to happen.” You have 60,000 thoughts a day, and research shows 80% of them are negative. It might be hard
to wrap your brain around having that many negative thoughts, especially since you aren’t aware most of them
exist. It’s a pattern you’ve developed over the years. Then it becomes the story you tell yourself and by which
you navigate everything else…how confident you are, how you lead others, how you succeed in unknown situations, or how you
embrace change. To keep up with an evolving world, you can’t keep thinking the same way you’ve always thought. Join us for this
opening keynote to learn how to transform your thoughts and turn them into positive action.

PRESENTER: Jason Kunz, CIH, CSP, EHS Cultural Excellence Evangelist, 3M,
Saint Paul, MN
Based on recent trends, specifically serious injury and fatality (SIF) trends, we must continue to develop
our leadership and influence. Surveys from business executives confirm that employers want strong
leadership and communication expertise in their HSE professionals. Understanding key principles and
building leadership and communication skills are what make the difference in achieving success in
today’s competitive marketplace — but how do we do this? Following more than 130 interviews with top HSE and operational
leaders, and years of qualitative research, we uncovered some answers — and they aren’t what we expected. Join us for this
engaging, informative, and empowering session that will leave you saying: “that wasn’t your typical HSE talk,” while providing
insight into what’s needed from us, now and moving forward.
