Workers' Compensation Educational Conference (WCI) — Theme & Take

WCI is the US workers' comp event with the broadest cross-functional attendance; the 2026 'Bold Ideas' theme and 2025 people-first framing signal a shift from claims mechanics toward culture, retention, and the human side of the system — where IME quality and case-management experience matter most.

Editorial take

_Editorial — Medrecords AI._

WCI is the US workers' comp event with the broadest cross-functional attendance; the 2026 'Bold Ideas' theme and 2025 people-first framing signal a shift from claims mechanics toward culture, retention, and the human side of the system — where IME quality and case-management experience matter most.

Official themes (Palooza → Glam) plus recap coverage emphasize professionals serving injured workers; case-management and RTW breakout content confirms the IME-adjacent audience.
