Elizabethtown Community and Technical College
2008 KCTCS Safety Conference
Agenda & Scheduled Sessions
Welcome to the 2008 KCTCS Safety Conference registration web site!

Every KCTCS college has developed extensive plans to respond to situations that arise on our campuses that may threaten lives or property. The theme of this year’s conference is “You Have a Plan, Now What?” Every session is designed to help you take your plans off the shelf, dust them off and be ready to implement them when and if the need arises.

This year, there will be concurrent sessions, along with plenary sessions so that each attendee can maximize their experience at the conference. Please choose your sessions carefully. Session attendance is limited based on room size. Some sessions are repeated.

Continental breakfasts and lunches are included with your paid registration for both conference dates. All times are EST.
