Tuesday's events at the Workers' Compensation Institute's 70th Annual Educational Conference (WCEC) kicked off with a special panel part of the conference's National Trends tract. Led by NU-PC360's Shawn Moynihan, attendees of the “Winning Strategies for Workers' Compensation Risk Management” panel learned the secrets behind the risk management programs that earned National Underwriter's Excellence in Workers' Compensation Risk Management awards this year.

The day was highlighted by a number of educational sessions and breakouts for Workers' Compensation professionals. When they weren't absorbing information in a session, attendees walked the showroom floor, which had a nostalgic 1980s theme.
