I love a good conference.
As I write this column, I'm in my hotel room at the massive Orlando World Center Marriott in Florida. Inside its walls, the Workers' Compensation Institute's 71st annual Educational Conference (WCEC) is taking place, an equally huge event that boasts 7,500 attendees from 45 states; 350 exhibitors; 200 breakout sessions; and an incredible 580 speakers.
Once a regional show, it has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade and offers educational tracks for a variety of professionals, including lawyers, risk managers, TPAs, medical professionals, claims adjusters and a variety of other insurance folk, including — you guessed it — an expanding track for agents and brokers, an audience for which the conference has been expending more thought and energy to reach in the last several years.
