SUPPORT THE MISSION OF AIMS BY BECOMING A SAFETY SEMINAR SPONSOR

More than classroom learning, a record 45 manufacturers, suppliers, and sponsors set up booths and tables at the 2024 AIMS International Safety Seminar. In addition to an average of 40 hours of education, attendees got to ask questions in person and learn about new products, while event sponsors got to hear directly from frontline users and those charged with maintaining their products.

"The growing number of manufacturers, suppliers, and sponsors each year is a critical piece of seminar success,” said AIMS Executive Director Amy Lowenstein. “Onsite activation expands the attendee experience in a positive way, and their generous financial support funds many of the program’s AIMS holds throughout the year.”
