Each year, MEMIC hosts a free conference for its policyholders, known as the MEMIC Comp Summit. The conference, held at the Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River Resort in Newry, Maine, boasts annual attendance of about 500. This year's conference is set for Nov. 13 and 14 and, once again, promises to be a worthwhile event. Registration is available here.

While the programs provide a focus on lots of important issues around workplace safety, the value of this conference is also found in the opportunity to meet fellow policyholders who may share some of the same safety challenges that you do. Policyholders who attend year after year tell us that they look forward to that part of the experience. Also important is the chance for MEMIC's many representatives to meet and discuss issues with customers outside of the workplace with its attendant daily hustle of work schedules and meetings.

You can read more about the programs at this year's MEMIC Comp Summit but, rest assured, that it's worth your time and effort to attend. It's an important benefit of having your workers' compensation policy with MEMIC.
