Welcome to the 2027 Safety Conference at UC Merced.

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 2027 Safety Conference. As  higher education institutionals. K-12 schools, public safety agencies, behavioral health professionals, and community partners navigate an increasingly complex environment, the need for collaboration, innovation, and resilience has never been greater.

The 2027 Safety Conference is designed to bring together leaders, practitioners, and subject matter experts who are committed to creating safer, healthier, and more connected communities. Through engaging keynote presentations, interactive breakout sessions, and meaningful networking opportunities, participants will explore emerging challenges, share lessons learned, and discover practical solutions that can be applied within their own organizations.

Whether you are responsible for campus operations, emergency management, student support, public safety, risk management, or organizational leadership, we hope this conference provides valuable insights, new perspectives, and lasting professional connections.

Thank you for joining us and for the important work you do everyday to support the safety, well-being, and success of those you serve. Together, we can strengthen our institutions, empower our communities, and build a more resilient future.
