About
FinanceThe Excess & Surplus Lines event is designed for E&S professionals with 5-15 years of experience in the surplus lines industry, offering a comprehensive program to enhance understanding of wholesale distribution issues and best practices. Participants will gain insights into industry regulatory issues, marketing strategies, claims processes, and the impact of reinsurance within the wholesale, specialty, and surplus lines sectors.
The curriculum is structured to include hands-on learning experiences alongside top industry professionals who possess extensive expertise. Participants will engage in self-directed learning through study groups, case studies, student-led presentations, panels, and informal networking sessions, culminating in a rich educational experience tailored to strengthen their business acumen.
The event will be held at the University of Chicago's Gleacher Center in Chicago, IL, providing ample networking opportunities, including a Cocktail Cruise to appreciate the scenic Chicago skyline. Notably, past participants of the WSIA's Excess & Surplus Lines program are encouraged to attend, although completion of the previous program is not a prerequisite.
The agenda includes key topics such as the dynamics between excess and surplus lines company underwriters and transactional brokers, methods for creating customer value in surplus lines, and strategies for minimizing errors and omissions exposures. Participants will also delve into the regulatory landscape to avoid compliance issues, explore current trends in reinsurance, and analyze important financial metrics that affect brokers and carriers.
This event not only promises a wealth of knowledge but also provides an environment conducive to fostering professional relationships within the E&S community.
