Nov. 3, 2026

The Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) hosted the 2026 Workers' Compensation Summit ̶ Sharing Knowledge, Shaping Solutions ̶ Thursday, Oct. 22, for more than 250 participants. The one-day, in-person event took place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Minneapolis Airport in Bloomington, Minnesota, and featured two general sessions – including keynote speaker Lynn Wehrman of Digital Accessibility by WeCo. Participants also had the opportunity to engage in 12 breakout sessions led by industry professionals and experts and visit with 20 exhibitors representing a variety of areas in the workers' compensation sector. 

The DLI Workers' Compensation Summit is carefully planned with all workers' compensation stakeholders in mind, including attorneys, employers, insurers, medical providers, rehabilitation providers, employee representatives, public officials and others. From case law to legislative updates, equity and inclusion to cybersecurity, and Minnesota demographic updates, the event offered a variety of topics to enhance each attendee's knowledge. 

According to post-event survey responses, as well as conversations throughout the event, attendees, exhibitors, presenters and sponsors alike were pleased with this year's Summit. DLI looks forward to the next Summit in 2028 and thanks everyone who worked so hard to make this year's Summit a success.
