New Exposures. New approaches.
Against a backdrop of growing economic uncertainty, financial institutions of every size are facing significant risks and changes. The familiar landmarks used to chart risks are becoming increasingly obsolete. To succeed in this changing global environment, you need a new and more complex map. Each year, bank insurance risk managers rely on the ABA Insurance Risk Management Conference to help them navigate emerging global threats with up-to-the-minute reports and tools.
You're responsible for helping your institution insulate itself from risk as best you can through strong management, thorough assessment, and appropriate use of insurance instruments. Now more than ever, this conference is your best — and perhaps your only — opportunity to benefit from the experiences of your peers in the financial services sector and determine what you need to successfully meet this challenge.
Why Should You Attend?
- Mitigate exposure by learning the best coverages for your organization and identifying coverage gaps.
- Discover and evaluate new insurance products and services to help you better manage risk, especially regarding the unique and significant compliance issues facing financial institutions
- Identify new risks on the horizon – what do current forecasts mean to your bank? What do you need to know to address management's "what if" questions?
- Save your bank money by meeting your brokers and underwriters in one convenient location.
The evolving nature of risk management makes this a valuable event for past attendees and newcomers alike. As a participant, you'll benefit from practical and timely insights from the industry's top practitioners, and receive critical updates on a range of current topics, icluding:
- The challenges of general market conditions and new financial services structure.
- The creative use of alternative insurance vehicles.
- Handling complex claims.
- Challenges posed by our mobile and virtual world.
Only this conference offers:
1. EDUCATION SPECIFICALLY FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES to help you communicate the myriad risks that financial firms face, discuss what's on the horizon for the financial services and insurance industries and translate these into actionable concepts that can be addressed at the executive committee level.
2. NETWORKING & RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
Peer group banker roundtables, receptions, and dinners help you create a year-round community with which to share best practices and solutions.
3. REAL WORLD VALUE. REAL COST SAVINGS.
Conduct all your business in one place. Your time is valuable and resources are limited. That's why we've designed the conference to provide the opportunity to meet with underwriters, brokers and other vendors at one event. It saves time and money by cutting down on the expenses of multiple national and overseas trips.
