NOSSCR 2024 Annual Conference. May 8-1, 2024.

Below are a list of frequently asked questions about the Conference.

Is there an agenda? 

Yes! You can find the tentative agenda here.

Where is the conference? 

The Omni Nashville, located at 250 Rep. John Lewis Way S, Nashville, TN 37203 

Is there a room block? 

Yes. Please contact us at [email protected] if you do not have the link and would like it!

What can I expect at the conference?  

A full schedule will be available soon, but in the meantime, here is an overview to help you plan. 

Conference check-in will be available at your convenience. We will be one floor above the lobby. Starting at 8:30 am on Wednesday, we will feature two tracks: one for newer practitioners (Social Security boot camp) and one for the team members of representatives – paralegals, legal assistants, case managers, and office managers. Conference registration includes these sessions, but we will open registration soon for those who want to only attend these one-day tracks. 

CLE sessions will start at 2:15 pm Wednesday for all conference attendees, followed by our Circuit Roundtables. 

Wednesday night will be a Happy Hour hosted by NextGen and sponsored by Assure & Prevail Case Management for all conference attendees (separate registration, no cost). After that, the Scully Networking & Awards Dinner will be at 7:30 pm (separate registration, $100). 

Thursday will start with our general session at 9 am, including updates on the agency and NOSSCR. We will have CLE sessions on Thursday afternoon, followed by a Legal Service meeting. 

On Friday, we will have CLE sessions all day, culminating in the President’s Reception Friday evening (separate registration, $75). 

On Saturday, we are hosting an Overpayments and Work Incentives Symposium (including three sessions for CLE credit) to discuss the overpayment crisis, which was recently the subject of a Ways and Means hearing and story on 60 Minutes. The Symposium will start at 9 am and conclude by 2:15 pm. 

In addition, we will have other opportunities to connect, like the Mentor-Mentee meet-up, PAC reception, and Chapter meetings. 

The cost of registration includes CLE reporting, access to all recorded CLEs after the conference, all-day coffee, breakfast each morning, and lunch on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Friday, lunch will be on your own, and we will have more details on options soon! For the latest information on the 2024 Annual Conference, head to our 2024 Annual Conference web page

For travel planning, try to arrive Tuesday night, May 7, if you will attend either the boot camp or team members’ tracks Wednesday morning. If you plan to start with the normal CLE sessions, you are safe to fly into Nashville Wednesday morning and check into the Omni Wednesday afternoon. Saturday, May 11, is a good departure day, but the later your flight is that day, the longer you can stay for our Overpayments and Work Incentives Symposium. 

NOSSCR is grateful for our annual sponsor, Insurance Branch, and other sponsors and exhibitors, which include Silver Sponsor and Partner Exhibitor Assure & Prevail Case Management, Partner Exhibitor iFive Global and ReleasePoint, The Federal Appeals Firm, DL Marketing, Law Ruler, and more!
