Safety & Quality Summit

As in previous years, the Summit will feature an opening address from our CEO David Balevic and will also include a plenary discussion conducted by some of the top minds in the aviation and safety arenas. 

We are committed to holding an in-person Safety & Quality Summit in an environment that is safe and accessible for as many of our participants as possible. However, infection rates have climbed throughout the world, many international borders remain closed and travel restrictions continue to be complex. We have therefore made the difficult decision to postpone this October’s event.

We know this is frustrating, however the good news is that we are now focusing on keeping the safety dialogue going through a virtual forum later in the year. We will be sharing details of when and how this will be delivered shortly. We are also working with some of the key stakeholders to rearrange a Dallas in-person event for 2022, subject to ongoing pandemic constraints.
We will share further details in the very near future. 

Each year, hundreds of delegates gather from around the world and across mulitiple industries to collaborate and share best practices.	This year's Safety and Quality Summit will take place in Irving, Texas near CHC's global headquarters.	CHC invites many of the top people in their respective fields. In 2018, Shawn Galloway (ProAct Safety) and Dr. Bill Johnson (FAA) participated in an opening discussion.
