Predicting 2025: Company Appetites, Underwriting, Competition, and Capacity
Are you struggling with managing your carrier relationships? Are you frustrated by their seemingly random actions? Are you frustrated with their inconsistency? Do you ever wonder how, if their predictive modeling is so good that now they must raise rates by 30% because they’re surprised by global warming?
Staying ahead of your carriers’ actions is difficult even in good times, much less in the hardest of hard markets. In this presentation, Chris will discuss five keys to understanding and getting ahead of your carriers’ actions. Your carrier relations don’t need to be shrouded in mystery. Join Chris to learn how to take proactive control of your carrier relations.

Making Sense of It All: Reading Insurance Policies
Is the loss covered? There's no way of knowing until you read the policy and that policy is as clear as mud. Sometimes it's hard to know exactly what's covered and when. Join us as we walk through a loss scenario and discover how we can read through a policy to discover the answer to the question, "Is it covered?"

Inland Marine Insurance: Why it Stands Out
Inland marine insurance is a unique line of coverage in that it addresses disparate "classes" of risk, most of them quite different from each other.
This session will review the origins and evolution of inland marine coverage, then describe how it has become one of the most consistently profitable lines of insurance for producers and carriers willing to invest in the expertise required to effectively write coverage and implement loss control in the various classes.
Join us as Joe Harrington helps us to understand one of those lines of business that we deal with, but we don't always get it.
Calculating Debris Removal and Replacement Cost
In the best of times, determining replacement cost and necessary debris removal expenses is difficult. 2021 has not been the best of years when it comes to supply chain, labor, and other costs associated with rebuilding.
Join us as Joe Harrington helps us to navigate this topic.
Perspectives on Cannabis
Join us for a special two-part class presented by Casey Roberts. Casey plans to help us to understand the current situation with cannabis, hemp, CBD, and how this impacts our insurance policies.
How Does Insurance Move from Risk Transfer?
We think that insurance is an industry that stretches around the globe. In truth, there are areas around the world that are underserved by the insurance industry, including risks and losses that happen in our own backyards.
Join us as Tim Christ helps us to understand the potential impact of the insurance industry if we can better serve certain parts of the world and design new products accordingly that fill those gaps.
Hemp (not Cannabis) From an Agricultural Perspective
We have questions about hemp. Many of us aren't sure what makes this particular crop a growing concern. We want to know the real difference between hemp and cannabis. We are pretty sure that the 2018 Farm Bill legalized CBD across the country, but we have our doubts, too. And does it really make a difference how much THC is in the product? Join us as Casey Roberts helps us with these questions and more.
