CHC have issued an update regarding the speakers that have already committed to their Summit 2011.

To start the 2011 CHC Safety and Quality Summit, we have arranged something a little different. The plenary session of the Summit will be arranged like a presidential debate, where three Experts, each renowned in their field, will debate either side of the Corporate Responsibility vs. Personal Accountability theme. The three Experts that have committed to this “battle of the titans” are Dr. Graham Braithwaite and Mr. John J. Nance. They will be arguing corporate responsibility and Dr. Tony Kern will be speaking on personal accountability.

There are only 15 days left to submit your ‘call for papers’ proposal for presentation at the CHC Safety & Quality Summit. The deadline for submissions is Sept 30, 2010.

As a reminder, the theme is: Corporate Responsibility vs. Personal Accountability: Two sides of the same Coin. If you wish to submit a paper to speak at the Summit please visit http://www.chcsafetyqualitysummit.com/speakers-sponsors/Callfor2011Papers.aspx for more information on submission guidelines.

We look forward to having these wonderful Speakers on the stage together and promise it will be an extremely engaging debate to start to the 7th annual CHC Safety & Quality Summit!
