Everyone sees the billboards. Law firms are marketing the large settlements and verdicts that they have secured. How are they getting those awards?

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 Casey Roberts brings us this session designed to help insurance pros understand, underwrite, and cover the risks of today's farms.
Technology-Enabled Insurance Commerce: Looking Back, Reaching Forward
Have you ever noticed that the insurance and technology worlds seem to have an odd relationship? It's as if their parents told them that they should get along and they do when people are watching, but when no one is looking, they fight.
Maybe it's not that bad, but there have always been technological tools available to the insurance world, which has historically been one of the most data-driven industries. 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.
Life's Unfair: The Mistakes that Lead to Bad Faith Claims

Join us as Chantal Roberts helps us to understand what could constitute a bad faith case, how to avoid it, and how to best serve the client.
