Advancing Education & Connection
in Workers’ Compensation
For eight decades, the Workers’ Compensation Institute (WCI®) has served as a comprehensive educational resource for professionals across the work comp industry.
From claims and legal to medical, safety, and management, WCI fosters education, collaboration, and continual improvement.
Through its annual conference, WCI brings together people and perspectives that strengthen the entire workers’ compensation community.
The Nation’s Leading Workers’ Compensation Conference
Each August, WCI hosts the Workers’ Compensation Educational Conference – the largest gathering of its kind in the country. The event unites thousands of professionals for four days of education, networking, and innovation in workers’ compensation, occupational safety, and health.
With over 150 breakout sessions, 400 expert speakers, and 250+ exhibitors, the conference delivers the most comprehensive educational experience available.
From Florida Roots to National Reach
The Workers’ Compensation Institute (WCI) grew from the long-established Florida Workers’ Compensation Institute (FWCI). Over time, WCI extended its mission nationwide, and the annual conference evolved into a national destination for learning and leadership.
Guided by Industry Leaders
WCI is led by its founders, James N. McConnaughhay and Steven A. Rissman, Executive Director Andrew Sabolic, a dedicated staff, volunteer committee members, and a respected Board of Advisors, representing diverse perspectives from across the nation.
Giving Back with Purpose
WCI embraces the spirit of service through a variety of charitable efforts. Each year, the conference supports organizations such as Give Kids The World, Tunnel to Towers, Kids’ Chance of Florida, Pet Alliance, and more. Through volunteer events, fundraisers, and creative initiatives like Swag for Schools, attendees make a tangible difference in the lives of children, families, and first responders.
