    DANNY BADER

    What if getting a second chance at life changed everything about how you live it?

    Keynote speaker and bestselling author Danny Bader has a story that will stop you in your tracks.

    In 1992, Danny survived a devastating workplace electrical accident that sent 8,000 volts through his body and left him clinically dead for approximately six minutes. Tragically, his friend and colleague did not survive.

    What followed wasn’t an instant transformation, but a journey of resilience, purpose, and discovering what it truly means to live.

    Today, Danny is the author of six books, including Back to Life, and shares his powerful story with audiences across the country.

    Get ready for an unforgettable reminder of why safety matters, why every day counts, and the impact we can make with the life we’re given.

The NDSC Safety + Health Conference is your opportunity to connect with fellow safety professionals, exchange ideas, discover new perspectives, and bring valuable insights back to your workplace. 

Whether you’re reconnecting with familiar faces or making new connections, there’s something special about bringing the safety community together.
