Nuclear Verdicts®, Social Inflation, and Why They Matter to the Insurance World
Everyone sees the billboards. Law firms are marketing the large settlements and verdicts that they have secured. How are they getting those awards? Sometimes it's a settlement, but sometimes it's awarded by a court. When the court hands down a decision awarding $10 million or more, that's considered a nuclear verdict, according to some definitions. These Nuclear Verdicts® and the social inflation that they contribute to are the subjects of this session. Join us as Laura Gregory and Tim Fletcher help us to understand these concepts and help us to understand why we should care.

Join us as author Barry Rabkin details this interesting relationship with information that's included in his book, From Stone Tablets to Satellites, available on Amazon.

Humans and Machines - The Next Insurance Revolution
At its core, insurance is a people business. We help handle the risks that people face. We are people who sell, underwrite, adjust claims and more for other people. So what does the future melding of people and technology hold? Probably not something Borg-like, but join us as Abi brings her session about the combination of people and machines.
Fiduciary Liability Updates for 2022

Join us as Frank Pennachio helps guide us through this important topic.

A Case for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Your EPLI Toolkit
When Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion goals are prioritized during employee hiring, promotion, evaluation, and development, better outcomes can be realized for retention. These activities are often the source of EPLI losses stemming from failure to promote, negligent evaluation, deprivation of career opportunities, and wrongful termination. The ability to craft and communicate a commitment and strategy with DEI benchmarks may have favorable impacts on EPLI premiums and reduce loss frequency and severity. Join us as Precious Norman-Walton guides us into the EPLI implications of DEI on employers.
