Berlin · 19–20 May 2027 · 10th Anniversary
Where the world’s EHS leaders come to think differently.
EHS Congress is convened by the International Institute of Leadership and Safety Culture (IILSC), a division of the leading executive education club CEDEP. IILSC is on a mission to create safety excellence through world-class leadership programs, insights and networking opportunities.
A decade of impact
The upcoming edition of EHS Congress will mark its 10th anniversary. Convened by the International Institute of Leadership & Safety Culture (IILSC), EHS Congress has become an essential event in the calendar for leaders around the world.
Our aim, though, is not only to celebrate the journey so far. The Institute is designing a program for 2027 that helps prepare us for the next decade. It is for an event that is part of the Institute’s wider, year-round offering for leaders, which also includes executive training programs, exclusive insights, strategic advice and IILSC Fellowship.
We are growing a global community and Congress is our flagship gathering. Together, we will explore how organisations can build safer, more caring and more resilient workplaces in an increasingly complex world.
We look forward to seeing you in Berlin.
Bertrand Gibert
Chief Operating Officer, IILSC

The conversation
The 2027 Congress program has been created by IILSC in consultation with leading EHS professionals with their finger on the pulse of what’s new and important in the field of environment, health and safety.
Featured workshops · more to come
Why injury-rate KPIs can actively harm safety culture — and which leading indicators genuinely drive performance. Case studies from high-hazard industries worldwide.
A research-grounded deep-dive into sociotechnical systems thinking and its practical application to EHS management in complex, high-hazard organisations.
An evidence-based challenge to the metrics we rely on, and a practical toolkit for leaders who want to measure what genuinely predicts harm — not what is merely visible.
Leadership & Culture, Human Performance, Safety Science, Wellbeing, Digital & Data — the full workshop line-up is being finalised with our executive committee.
Behind the programme
The 2027 Congress programme has been created by IILSC in consultation with our Executive Committee — a group of leading EHS professionals with their finger on the pulse of what’s new and important in the field of environment, health and safety.
They challenge the themes, shape the agenda and make sure every session answers a question our community is actually asking. The members of the 2027 committee will be announced shortly.
