2026 Region IV VPPPA Safety & Health Excellence Conference
Hosted in Mobile, Alabama, the 2026 Region IV VPPPA Conference brings together safety and health professionals, frontline leaders, managers, and industry experts from across the Southeast. This year’s theme — Anchored in Excellence — reflects our commitment to strengthening workplace safety through connection, learning, and continuous improvement.

Keynote Speakers:
Opening Keynote - Wylie Davidson, our opening keynote, brings energy, humor, and real-world experience as he challenges us to think beyond compliance and focus on creating a lasting safety legacy that impacts every worker, every day.
Closing Keynote - Jason Kunz closes our conference with Building a Better Tomorrow, an energizing look at how modern safety leadership, Human & Organizational Performance (HOP), and SIF prevention can shape a safer, stronger future. He challenges us to move beyond traditional thinking, empowering every worker and leader to help create workplaces where people thrive.
About the Theme: “Anchored in Excellence”
Mobile’s deep maritime history inspired this year’s theme. Just as a ship relies on its anchor for stability, great safety programs rely on strong foundations — leadership commitment, engaged employees, and a continuous drive for improvement. This conference will help reinforce those anchors while exploring new ways to strengthen your safety culture.
