Five hours. One source for decision-ready insight.
The 2026 Workers Compensation Symposium is a must-attend forum for workers’ compensation professionals seeking authoritative data, timely market intelligence, and decision-ready insights to inform pricing, underwriting, and risk strategy.
Hosted by the Pennsylvania Compensation Rating Bureau (PCRB) and Delaware Compensation Rating Bureau (DCRB) on April 23 at Convene 30 South 17th Street in Center City Philadelphia, this one-day event brings together insurance carriers, agents and brokers, employers, regulators, and industry partners for a focused program designed to support sound decision-making across the workers’ compensation system.
Designed with today’s demanding schedules in mind, the 2026 symposium features a tightly focused, high-impact agenda that distills the most valuable workers’ compensation insights into a streamlined event experience.
This year’s program opens with a featured economic outlook from Michel Léonard, PhD, CBE, of the Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I), offering critical perspective on macroeconomic forces shaping insurance performance, growth expectations, and risk dynamics relevant to workers’ compensation.
The agenda then turns to marketplace intelligence, with PCRB and DCRB subject-matter experts delivering Marketplace Data Insights and Updates grounded in bureau reporting and analytics. These sessions examine loss experience, pricing signals, legislative and regulatory developments, important bureau updates, and system activity across Pennsylvania and Delaware—providing attendees with practical context and actionable insight drawn directly from bureau data.
The program concludes with a forward-looking medical session that explores how medical utilization, costs, and data quality are increasingly influencing workers’ compensation outcomes. Anchored by PCRB and DCRB analysis and expanded through panel discussion, this session broadens the lens beyond bureau data to consider medical trends and system impacts affecting carriers and stakeholders across the region.
With networking over breakfast and lunch and content tailored to senior leaders and technical professionals alike, the 2026 Workers Compensation Symposium delivers focused insight for those navigating an increasingly complex, data-driven workers’ compensation environment.
