 ​“Keynote: From Disruption to Opportunity—Embracing the AI Revolution” is just one of the sessions that the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) will feature at its Annual Insights Symposium (AIS) 2026, May 11–13, 2026, in Orlando, FL. Leading artificial intelligence (AI) thought leader, Ethan Mollick, a professor and scholar at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, will present.

“AI is advancing at a pace that’s hard to ignore, and we’re already past the point of asking if it will affect industries like insurance—it’s now about how it will be used,” said Ethan. “In this dynamic and interactive session, we’ll explore the opportunities and possibilities of this era of the AI revolution.”

NCCI President and CEO Tracy Ryan will open the symposium with key insights and a forward-looking vision for the industry. A highlight of AIS is NCCI’s State of the Line Report, an exclusive review of the workers compensation system from NCCI’s Chief Actuary Donna Glenn, FCAS, MAAA. Another session features the California and New York bureau presidents joining Tracy Ryan to discuss unique state dynamics and shared efforts to support a healthy workers compensation system.

More than 900 insurance leaders will gather at AIS, the industry’s premier event, to address today’s most relevant issues and foster valuable connections across the industry. For complete details on the agenda and to register for AIS 2026, visit ncci.com/AIS.
