"More than two dozen leaders from the ocean marine insurance world will present their perspectives at the education and networking event," notes John A. Miklus, AIMU president. Several distinct sessions in the "Shifting Market, Shifting Tides: A New Marine Insurance Landscape Is Emerging" daylong event will cover:
- Overview of U.S. P-C and Marine Market
- Lloyd's U.S. Underwriter/Broker Panel: Market Changes and Impact of Lloyd's "Closing the Gap"
- Weather/NAT CAT and RMS Modeling Tool Updates
- Mega Ship Challenges
- Emerging Issues: Marijuana/Opioid Crisis and Punitive Damages
- Hurricane Plans
- Marine Leadership Panel
"The interconnections are diverse and numerous among insureds, carriers/syndicates, underwriters, brokers, attorneys, and claims and other service providers. Even by the standards of the global insurance industry, the interactions and knowledge required are extraordinary in the ocean marine business," says Miklus. "To help ocean marine insurance practitioners build these connections and knowledge-sharing with colleagues, the American Institute of Marine Underwriters offers this seminar along with meetings and field trips as well as webinars, live courses, certificates and other learning and networking opportunities throughout the year."
