SAPAA brings attendees and exhibitors together!

We intentionally design our conference experience to create meaningful opportunities for exhibitors and attendees to connect.  From meals and networking events in the Expo Hall to dedicated exhibit time and new pop-up demo opportunities, our goal is simple: help you have productive conversations with the people you came to meet.

With only five exhibit booths remaining, now is the time to secure your spot at the 2026 SAPAA Annual Conference & Expo in Minneapolis.

If you manage results as a DER, coordinate services as a TPA,
or make determinations as a SAP, this upcoming live training
was built with your role in mind.

The SAP role continues to receive increased attention, and that pressure carries through the full DOT testing and return-to-duty process. When SAPs, DERs, and TPAs are not aligned, small issues quickly turn into compliance concerns.

This new SAPAA Training Institute Course focuses on where breakdowns occur, how risk develops, and what stronger coordination looks like across the process. The session covers communication practices, role responsibilities, and real-world situations professionals face under DOT rules.

This live webinar takes place May 4, 2026 from 1:00–3:00 p.m. ET. You must attend during that time to receive a Certificate of Completion. If you’re interested but can’t attend live, click here to get notified when the course is added to the On-Demand Catalog.

11 webinar recordings with CEUs. $39 each on their own, or all included with SAPAA membership for your entire team.

If you manage results as a DER, coordinate services as a TPA,
or make determinations as a SAP, this session is designed for your role.

The SAP role is under increased scrutiny. That pressure carries through the entire DOT testing process, from the initial test to return-to-duty.

When SAPs, DERs, and TPAs are not aligned, routine issues escalate into compliance findings. SAPAA's lastest Training Institute Course focuses on where breakdowns occur and how to correct them across the full testing and return-to-duty process.

You will see how each role connects, where risk develops, and how clear communication supports defensible decisions. The session also covers how experienced professionals handle real situations under DOT rules.
