Register to attend the 2011 Insurance Executive Forum
The Insurance Executive Forum will offer you and your colleagues the opportunity to hear the perspectives of a diverse and distinguished panel of industry executives as they discuss these issues and other questions.
2011 Forum: "Rising to the Challenge: Succeeding in the new normal"
The business landscape has changed fundamentally. As the sluggish economy continues, “normal” no longer looks like the normal of recent years. Factors such as the economy, regulatory change, health care reform, technological developments, talent needs, globalization, and industry performance must be looked at in a new context as the insurance industry considers how to succeed in a very different environment. We invite you to join us as a panel of industry executives discusses how to prosper and thrive in this “new normal” environment, answering such questions as:
What is the “new normal?”
What impact is the ongoing financial crisis having on the insurance industry?
What are the key legislative and regulatory reform concerns? What impact will they have on the insurance industry? What about the push for global regulation?
With catastrophes in 2011 on a record pace, what effects will they have on the industry in 2012?
Where is the market, and where is it going?
What has been the impact of the federal health care reform on the insurance industry and insurance buyers?
How are the significant world events that are now part of a constantly changing global environment reshaping risk management?
As all businesses, even the small ones have become more global, how are insurers and brokers working with their clients to address their global exposures?
How embedded is enterprise risk management in organizations? Or is there still a long way to go before it becomes the norm?
As global catastrophes such as the earthquake in Japan have focused attention on supply chain disruption, how are insurers and brokers working with their clients to identify and address these exposures?
What impact are “green” issues having on the demand for insurance products and on claims, and how is the industry responding to these issues?
With the explosion of new technologies, how is the insurance industry using the technology to improve the way they do business and distribute their products? How can the industry use social media more effectively?
What are some of the emerging risks that might be on the horizon?
As the issue of talent needs continues to be of significant concern, what is the insurance industry doing to address their talent needs and adapt to the characteristics and expectations of the next generation of insurance industry professionals?
