DATIA's 5th Annual Conference and Exposition - "Strengthening the Industry With the Three R's - Responsibility, Reliability, Regulatory Compliance" - will be the drug and alcohol testing industry's biggest event of the year by far, providing attendees insight, information, and advocacy on issues that impact providers of drug and alcohol testing services. This year's agenda has been designed to motivate and provide concrete strategies to enable attendees to strengthen the industry through their responsibility, reliability, and regulatory compliance. Foremost among these issues are new federal regulations and guidelines that have a major effect on how workplace drug and alcohol testing is performed. The effects of new technologies and testing methodologies are part of this pending change, and will also be a focus of the conference agenda.
Top level speakers from Federal Agencies and the industry will address the conference and interact with attendees to discuss the impact of these changes to drug and alcohol testing policy. The DATIA conference will also provide the opportunity for individuals to learn from the experiences of other industry professionals on how to best implement drug and alcohol testing. DATIA's unique and needed role as an educator for the industry ensures that the conference will be the first of its type with an agenda that promotes the strengthening of the industry.
Advancements in technology have been made at an unprecedented pace within the drug and alcohol testing industry, and have already begun to have an effect on professionals that provide services in the industry. This conference will provide attendees with comprehensive information on the technological advancements made within the industry and what they mean for both providers and end-users of drug and alcohol testing.
As a drug and alcohol-testing provider, this is the one conference that can't be missed. Don't let this opportunity to meet with key legislative and regulatory officials, industry experts, and leaders in the advancement of drug and alcohol testing pass you by. We're certain that every attendee of DATIA's 5th Annual Conference and Exposition will have a positive learning experience and take with them concrete information that can immediately be applied to their specific operation. We look forward to seeing you at our celebration in Phoenix.
