"Good things happen with the pure sharing of information," says Scott Powell, PLRB/LIRB vice president of educational and technical services, when asked to relay the essence of the 2012 Claims Conference. The annual conference will be held Sunday through Wednesday, April 15-18 at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Fla. Claims professionals from across the country will gather to learn, share, and connect.
Powell expects more than 2,000 attendees at this year's event, an increase from last year. He expects more participants because of an improved economy, as well as "carriers increasingly seeing the value of sending people."
"I'm convinced that participation is how people learn," he says. "People come to conferences because they want to learn with and from others. There are always a lot of new opportunities too. We strive to have at least 50 percent brand new sessions. This is a very nice opportunity to explore the hot topics of the industry."
