About the IAIABC Convention

The IAIABC Convention addresses the current policy, regulatory, and administrative challenges and opportunities affecting workers' compensation around the world through a combination of presentations, discussion forums and roundtables, committee meetings, and social events.Bill Strickland

The IAIABC is one of the only places where regulators and private industry stakeholders sit at the same table in committee meetings and seminars, generating new ideas and strategies side by side. 

The IAIABC 106th Convention - Virtual, hosted throughout September 2020, was a fully virtual event in which over 350 people from around the world participated to discuss workers' compensation issues of today and tomorrow.  

Save The Date

The IAIABC Board of Directors faced a difficult decision in determining how to move forward with planning for the 107th Convention. After carefully considering Covid-19 cases, vaccination roll-outs, and Association member needs, the IAIABC Board of Directors has elected to host the IAIABC 107th Convention in-person with a virtual component.

The 107th Convention is scheduled for Tuesday, October 26 – Thursday, October 28, 2021 at the Louisville Marriott Downtown in Louisville, Kentucky. This “hybrid” conference will provide the opportunity for those who are comfortable traveling and attending in-person to do so, while giving a virtual option for those who elect not to travel. Many conference sessions will be available for virtual participation.
