ATLANTA–You could argue this year's annual gathering of the National Association of Health Underwriters is the last of its kind, taking place after all appeals have been exhausted and all that's left is for the industry's sentence to be carried out.

You also could contend it's the first of its kind, an inaugural gathering of professionals possibly on the eve of an entirely new career track, or at least a dramatically altered one.

As someone who plans a similar event, I can relate both to the sense of urgency infecting this year's show and the shadow of uncertainty that clouds any future meetings. Planning content and lining up speakers this year was easy (at least as far as these things go). Next year? Not so much.
