This year’s conference, ‘integrate. innovate. inspire!’, combines a stimulating blend of inspirational, informative, and innovative sessions for all involved in the workers’ rehabilitation and compensation field and the broader business community.

Over 500 people attended last year’s conference and the calibre of this year’s keynote speakers will take the 2012 conference to new heights. Our two sets of three concurrent sessions will continue to provide an opportunity for delegates to share experiences, gain knowledge and engage with industry leaders across a range of topics drawn directly from feedback provided by last years conference attendees.

The first keynote session will be presented by Michael Henderson, a corporate anthropologist from New Zealand, who will share his innovative ideas on workplace culture and its importance in cultivating positive return to work attitudes. Drawing on knowledge and experience of over 70 cultures, in 40 countries and the lessons they contain, Michael ensures that the knowledge and information he shares is grounded in the realities of business.

The second keynote address will provide a rarely glimpsed window into the impact of a truly life-changing survival experience. We are privileged to have one of the world’s top inspirational speakers, Nando Parrado, join us to share first-hand the remarkable story of the Uruguay Rugby team whose plane crashed in the Andes in 1972. Their story of courage, resilience, teamwork, determination and leadership, experienced at a level few have known, will leave you with a heightened awareness of the value of human life. Of particular relevance to injured workers is Nando’s explanation of how he coped with people’s altered perception of him as a result of his experience. We are particularly grateful for the generous sponsorship support that enabled us to bring this exceptional speaker to the 2012 WorkCoverSA Annual Conference.

The conference will conclude with an informative and high energy presentation by Bruce Sullivan, one of Australia’s most dynamic and sought-after relationship specialists. Bruce will give insight on identifying your personality type, as well as other people’s personality types. He will provide advice on how to negotiate, manage, work and live with people that may prefer to take in information, arrive at decisions and live in the world differently to you.

Table of 10:	$2,250
