At the National Safety Council Congress & Expo, semifinalists will share their solutions with conference attendees and a review committee in the Technology Pavilion. Attendees will be business leaders, senior EHS professionals, researchers and innovators.
A diverse group of leading industry experts will select the three finalists who will pitch their technology on-stage during the keynote session on the final day of the conference. Those three finalists will have three minutes to present followed by up to five minutes of questions from the panelists. Panelists may include the CEO of the National Safety Council, the keynote speaker and representatives from Amazon, as well as other relevant safety experts.
Following the final pitches, the audience of roughly 2,000 people will participate in a live vote to determine the official winner.
