There's still time to claim your spot at an essential pit stop for all industry professionals. This year, ACE America's Claims Event returns to Las Vegas, Nev. for its fourteenth iteration. Steeped in a rich tradition of claims excellence, the event takes place from June 22 to 24, 2010 at the Bellagio Hotel. With informative sessions, abundant networking opportunities, and dynamic roundtable discussions, ACE will catalyze the claims workforce. The fresh installment will feature a dedicated track encompassing business operations and technology education.

Each year the show's speakers excel at illuminating key issues and proffering vital solutions, which is part of the draw, says Josh Brous, director of programs at Summit Business Media. In fact, this year's attendance is currently projected to reach 625, a noticeable uptick from the 500 reported in 2009. According to Brous, the swell is a testament to the show's relevance and valuable content.

"We are building from the momentum of a great show in 2009," Brous said. "Attendance is pacing ahead of last year by close to 25 percent. Aside from better market conditions, the swell can be attributed to the resources at ACE that facilitate learning and foster collaboration in an exceptional way."
