Skeletons in the Yard: Unearthing the Trends Haunting Insurance Defense

JOIN US IN OHIO’S CAPITAL CITY TO UNCOVER THE ISSUES LURKING BENEATH TODAY’S INSURANCE DEFENSE LANDSCAPE

We’ve planned an engaging seminar in Columbus, Ohio, a dynamic city known for its innovation, growth, and vibrant professional community.

Join us for a thought-provoking and forward-looking conference experience in Columbus, where industry leaders, defense counsel, claims professionals, and partners will come together to explore the challenges shaping the future of insurance defense.

This year’s program will uncover the trends, risks, and emerging issues that continue to haunt claims professionals, defense attorneys, and insurers. From the growing influence of artificial intelligence and evolving litigation strategies to rising claim severity and shifting legal standards, attendees will gain practical insights into the issues impacting the defense community today. Sessions will examine complex liability exposures, emerging theories of negligence, changing jury dynamics, and the technologies transforming the way claims are investigated, evaluated, and defended.

As the industry navigates an increasingly unpredictable environment, our distinguished speakers and panelists will help attendees identify potential pitfalls before they become costly problems, while sharing practical strategies to address the challenges that may be hiding just beneath the surface.

Beyond the educational sessions, the conference offers valuable opportunities to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and strengthen professional relationships. As a nonprofit association committed to advancing excellence in insurance defense, we are proud to provide a forum where professionals can come together to discuss emerging threats, share best practices, and develop solutions for the future.

We look forward to welcoming you to Columbus for an engaging gathering focused on uncovering the trends shaping our profession and preparing for the challenges that lie ahead.
