TENNESSEE BUREAU OF WORKERS’ COMPENSATION EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE

Register now for the Virtual Educational Conference: October 26-30, 2020

We are excited to announce that our conference will be held virtually this year. Mark your calendars for the dates above.
 

Watch Live or On-Demand

The choice is yours on viewing the conference sessions: you can view them live and contribute to the real-time Q&A; or watch them later, and you can still be able to ask questions via our "Communications Hub."

The live sessions will not be back-to-back but rather spread out through the last week of October.

Session content will remain available for on-demand viewing for three weeks, ending on Friday, November 13, 2020.

To learn more on how the session will be accessed, please read How to Navigate the Session Hall before the conference begins.
 

CEUs

We're offering a variety of continuing education for various professions.

We've built the CEU request forms into the "Session Hall," so all you need to do is click the option that asks if you’re requesting CEUs for that session, and then "Submit."
 

Reduced Conference Fee (obviously)

Pricing for the online conference has been dramatically reduced, to enable more participants to join us, when travel might have been a barrier to past conferences.

Attendee Fee: $200
Early Bird Special: $175 (now - Sept 15)
 

Attendees are encouraged to network via Slack

What's your favorite song right now? What did the speaker mean by "R.E.W.A.R.D."? 

In efforts to recapture the networking opportunities that could be lost by not meeting in person, we are encouraging attendees to communicate via Slack.  Slack is a communications platform that will allow attendees to meet other attendees, interact and connect virtually via "channels".  All of our conversations about conference activities are shared within channels in a single location on Slack.  It takes the best features of instant messaging and email and combines them into one single platform.

Ask questions about the conference, a session, or even tech support ‒ all through Slack, aka the conference "Communication Hub".
