Editor's Note: The 68th annual Workers' Compensation Educational Conference (WCEC) will be held Aug. 18-21 at the Orlando World Center Marriott. Presented by the Workers' Compensation Institute, the WCEC is the largest gathering of its kind in the nation and offers discipline-specific programs and break-out sessions from hundreds of national speakers, as well as CEU opportunities. During the conference on Aug. 19, NU Executive Managing Editor Shawn Moynihan will present the PC360/NU Awards for Excellence in Workers' Comp Risk Management.

One of our highest-level programs over the last several years has been the National Workers' Compensation Review. The program is originated and moderated by the three co-chairs: Bill Pipkin, George Kagan and Jim Anderson. The three of them have compiled a program that would be the envy of every workers' compensation seminar in the country and we present this program as part of our Workers' Compensation Educational Conference.

The National Workers' Compensation Review is a two-day seminar on Aug. 19 and 20. This course highlights practical strategies for closing claims at reduced costs and is presented by those who do just that. Our speakers comprise the most accomplished array we have ever assembled: their names or affiliations are household words and they are here solely to bring you into the loop on topics and trends you may not have even heard of yet but need to. Pipkin, Kagan or Anderson moderate all of the panels.
