NWCDC – the Tuesday report

Sure, the show doesn’t officially start until today, but there was a lot going on Tuesday – not to mention a bunch of folks were here as early as Saturday setting up and prepping for the 72-hour sprint that is NWCDC.

So, quick first impressions…

Attendance is up 10 percent over last year – which was a very good year indeed.  With teh economy picking up and work comp doing better, that’s no surprise.  Kudos to Roberto Ceniceros and the folks at LRP – it’s come a long way from the basement of the Hilton in Chicago.

Tuesday is the day to get as many meetings done as possible before the madness starts Tuesday evening.  Great event at Skyfall hosted by Helios – well attended, convenient, conducive to catching up with old friends and colleagues.

Met with the principals at Social Detection to learn about their search engine customized/optimized for work comp investigations.  Pretty impressive, with wide application in comp.  As I understand it, their service aggregates social media and other sources from the web while getting rid of the noise.  So, instead of a gazillion hits on a person’s name, you get the stuff that’s most relevant.

More to come…
