National Comp engages workers’ compensation professionals, attorneys, legal counselors, and industry service providers in a collaborative, inclusive event to address emerging issues affecting the workers’ compensation community. National Comp conference is designed to foster relationships and encourage the open exchange of ideas and information.

The practice of hosting unsanctioned events alongside an existing exhibition or conference to capitalize on its audience without the approval of the event organizer.

As the premier event in the workers’ compensation industry, National Comp—organized by The Institutes, a non-profit organization— invests substantial financial and operational resources to deliver a top-tier conference and expo. Our sponsors and exhibitors play a crucial role in this success, and their contributions deserve protection.

We kindly ask that you decline invitations to activities that conflict with official National Comp activities and report any violations to show management. Sanctioned events will proudly show the ‘National Comp Supporter Badge’. Unsanctioned events held by non-exhibitors undermine the integrity of our conference, devalue the investments of legitimate stakeholders, and create an unfair competitive landscape.

These events exist solely because of National Comp, yet companies that are not listed as exhibitors or sponsors seek to benefit from the platform without contributing. This ‘piggybacking’ diminishes the collective efforts of our industry and detracts from the experience we work hard to provide.

Registrant substitutions may be made at any time with no penalty. Cancellations received in writing 30 days prior to the conference start will receive a refund minus an administrative fee of $250. Cancellations received after this date will not be refunded. No-show registrations will not be refunded nor offered credit to a future conference.

The Institutes reserves the right to cancel the conference due to lack of registrations or any other unforeseen circumstances. In case of conference cancelation, The Institutes’ liability is limited to the refund of the registration fee only. The Institutes reserves the right to alter this program without prior notice.
