The CCPS International Conference, held annually since 1986, focuses each year on one specific area of process safety and explores that area in depth with an international perspective. A rigorous paper selection process is used, in which fewer than half of all proposals are accepted for publication. Speakers and attendees from outside the US make up a large percentage of participation, providing a broad range of perspectives. Now in its 20th year, the CCPS conference has addressed all areas of process safety in depth several times, with extensive case histories.
The AIChE Loss Prevention Symposium, held annually since 1967, brings together invited, peer reviewed papers covering a broad range of the process safety and loss prevention fields each year. The proceedings of the Loss Prevention Symposium are a rare and valuable source of the early history of process safety.
