The Workers Compensation Seminar is IN-PERSON only. There is no virtual option offered. 

Workers Compensation Seminar

The Annual Workers Compensation Seminar provides attorneys, and other stakeholders practicing in the field, the opportunity to get current information on workers compensation and to earn continuing legal education credits. In addition, the seminar provides continuing medical education credits for nurses practicing in the area and credits for certified case managers. Topics included legislative and case law updates, occupational medicine, and ethics training, as well as other medical and computation classes that qualified participants for mandatory educational credits. 

All exhibit booth spaces for the 49th Annual WC Seminar have been sold. To be an exhibitor at our 50th Annual WC Seminar in 2024, please contact KDOL.WCSeminar@ks.gov to have your name placed on the contact list.
