Location: Grand Hall
Kick off IGNITE 2026 with a look at where Intelex is headed and what it means for your environmental, health, safety, and quality (EHSQ) program. Hear from Intelex leadership on the company's strategic direction, product momentum, and the forces shaping the future of environmental, health, safety, and quality.
EHSQ is changing faster than most programs can keep up, from AI adoption to regulatory pressure to the expanding role of the function inside the organization. Discover what it means to build an EHSQ program that doesn't just keep pace, but also leads. We are here to name the shift that is already underway: from programs built to respond, to programs built to prevent. From reactive to resilient.
Location: Grand Hall
The shift from reactive to resilient is one your program is already making. Hear from our Chief Product & Technology Officer, Ankur Sharma, on what it looks like when the platform moves with you in redefining what an EHSQ platform can do: Predicting risk before it becomes harm, connecting data that has always lived in silos, and putting the right insight in front of the right person at exactly the right moment.
Intelex Product Managers walk through an interactive look on product roadmap covering key market trends that informed prioritization decisions, industry use cases driving new capabilities, and live in-app demos of recently shipped and upcoming enhancements.
Location: Grand Hall
Navigating AI adoption pressures, talent gaps, and leadership misalignment at the same time? Intelex surveyed 864 EHS professionals across North America and Europe to find out exactly where the profession stands.
EHSQ is growing in strategic influence, but the challenges keeping teams from realizing that potential are real, widespread, and familiar. Hear directly from your practitioner peers as they dive into emerging EHSQ technology trends, AI applications, and the signals shaping EHSQ into 2027.

In this live, unscripted session, COMET demonstrates how an Intelex event report can trigger a fully AI‑assisted investigation and RCA workflow. See real‑time gains in speed and accuracy, and how built‑in AI delivers immediate, cumulative insights designed specifically for the needs of the QHSE community.
Location: Frisco Room A
Many organizations invest significant time and resources implementing Intelex, only to find that processes, configurations, and user experiences remain largely unchanged for years. While the system continues to function, missed optimization opportunities can lead to inefficient workflows, increased administrative effort, lower user adoption, and unrealized business value.
This interactive breakout session will explore the hidden costs of maintaining the status quo within your Intelex environment. Through attendee discussion and survey responses, we'll identify common signs that a system is overdue for optimization, examine opportunities to streamline processes and improve usability, and share practical strategies for maximizing the value of your existing Intelex investment.
Whether your organization is newly implemented or years into its Intelex journey, you'll leave with ideas and actionable next steps to help uncover improvement opportunities and drive continuous value from your platform.
Location: Frisco Room B
Implementation is only the beginning. Over time, systems can accumulate outdated configuration, aging records, reporting gaps, and usability issues that impact data quality and user trust. This session will show attendees how to assess overall system health, identify overlooked risks, and use practical tools to support cleanup, optimization, and ongoing improvement.
Location: Texas & Pacific Room

Environmental compliance built around permit deadlines is reactive by design. The resilient environmental program does not just meet requirements, it anticipates them. Environmental compliance programs are under increasing pressure from more complex reporting requirements to tighter permit conditions, and the convergence of environmental data with ESG disclosure obligations.
This session covers how EHS practitioners are using Intelex to manage emissions tracking, wastewater, waste, and permit compliance across multi-site operations. Learn about practical implementation patterns, common data challenges, and how environmental managers need to track emerging sustainability reporting frameworks (CSRD, SEC climate rules) as they evolve.
Location: Frisco Room B
Technology alone doesn't create a safety culture, people do. Your frontline team holds the data your EHS program needs most and most of them aren't entering it. Scott Gaddis, VP of Safety & Health at Intelex, breaks down what drives real frontline engagement: Mobile-first workflows, behavioural nudges, and the adoption tactics that have measurably improved near-miss reporting rates and observation quality in programs just like yours.
Location: Grand Hall
Come with the EHSQ challenge that's been sitting on your list -- the workflow that creates friction, the gap in your data that nobody's been able to close, the outcome you're being held to that your current tools weren't designed for.
Check out the capabilities you've heard about but haven't seen yet and work through it live directly with the Intelex Product Team at dedicated stations.

Many EHSQ programs plateau after implementation. This session diagnoses why momentum stalls through single points of failure in governance, low adoption by frontline teams, and change management gaps. Whether you're two years post go-live or just getting started, you'll leave with actionable strategies for improving adoption metrics, and a practical framework for re-energizing mature programs connecting your EHSQ data to the business outcomes leadership cares about.

In this presentation, we will explore Energy-Based Safety (EBS) and the underlying research that supports its use to reduce serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) in work settings. We'll delve into: How energy causes harm, how to prioritize which hazards are likely to lead to SIFs, and how to define controls that can help to save lives in practice.
Location: Grand Hall
Every EHSQ vendor is talking about AI. This session moves past the "AI is coming" conversation and into the practical question most programs haven't answered yet: who owns the decision when AI influences it? Most practitioners are still figuring out what it actually means for their day-to-day work and whether they should trust it. This session talks about where AI is delivering measurable value inside EHSQ workflows today: surfacing incident patterns, drafting corrective actions, flagging inspection anomalies before they become audit findings, and what good governance looks like so you stay in control of the decisions that matter.
Customers share how AI is already changing the way their programs run: what they piloted, what they scaled, and what they would not go back from. A clear picture of what AI-powered EHS looks like when it is working, and what your program needs to get there.
Location: Grand Hall
Compliance gets you to the baseline, culture is what keeps people safe when no one is watching. This session examines the gap between compliance-driven EHS programs and culture-led ones: what the research shows, how practitioners have made the transition, and what regulatory changes are raising the stakes for organizations that treat compliance as the ceiling rather than the floor.
Location: Grand Hall
Your safety record looks strong. Your SIF exposure might tell a different story. Angelo Cianfrocco, Portfolio Product Manager of EHS Solutions at Intelex, unpacks the science and the system behind a true Zero Fatalities framework: PSIF tracking, cumulative risk assessment, and the leading indicators that high-performing programs are using right now.
