Looking Over The 2022 NWCDC Info – My Search for Innovation Continues
A few things that I noticed in the 2022 NWCDC info on the annual Vegas conference. I covered it with a press pass last year. The dates are 10/19/2022 to 10/21/2022.
Due to the required and wise mask-wearing rules, I covered what I could before having to leave on short notice to do a fill-in presentation in San Diego. Thanks to NWCDC for the press pass. Kudos.
If you want to see what I have covered over the years in general – Check out this search for NWCDC. Please no laughing at me losing my phone after a happy hour. At least the situation provided a good article that is one of the most read articles on this website.
Oh, I always forget to spell out the acronyms – National Workers Comp & Disability Conference. The conference advisory board has two of my favorite Workers Comp people Denise Algire and Bill Zachary. The conference looks to be in good hands.
I hand-counted 220+ vendor booths this year from the vendor booth list. The number always increases right before the conference.
