Hard times test our vision and resolve.
Battered by the human and financial toll of recent
disasters, and burdened by a still-sluggish economy, insurers face a
landscape that has been transformed--literally and figuratively.
Over the past several years, insurers have witnessed
natural events--tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes--of a
frequency and severity not seen in decades.
At the same time, insurers have seen profound
changes in the makeup of the households they insure. Traditional
households headed by married couples are increasingly in the minority,
supplanted by a variety of household structures that are growing in
number and diversity.
The 2012 AAIS Main Event addresses these important
shifts head-on with a business program that will provide critical
information of practical value in seeing your way through these changes
to a successful future.
The Lodge at Torrey Pines, located north of San Diego in scenic La Jolla, Calif.,
is our site this year for the Main Event, AAIS's annual conference devoted to product-related issues of strategic concern to property/casualty insurers.
The lodge is a AAA five-diamond luxury resort hotel overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The resort features 170 spacious guest rooms and suites, a full-service spa, and two restaurants, including a signature dining room serving contemporary California cuisine.
The Lodge is adjacent to the renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course, the country's premier municipal golf course and site of many prestigious golf events. The north course, situated on coastal cliffs overlooking the Pacific, will be the site of the Main Event's 2012 golf outing.
This year's main conference program features experts
in climate science, catastrophe modeling, flood coverage, demographics,
and homeowners insurance providing actionable information on
opportunities and challenges in today's market.
Also, AAIS staff members will report on recent and
impending developments in AAIS insurance line programs.
Our annual inland marine track features industry experts addressing an
emerging topic in inland marine: how to incorporate data-driven decision
making into that traditionally underwritten line.
In the end, companies will have to look to
themselves for the resolve to see things through. But the 2012 AAIS Main
Event will be invaluable for helping them develop the strategic vision
for doing so.
The AAIS Main Event is recognized among insurers as a valuable conference for executive-level presentations on product-related issues of strategic importance.
One hallmark of the event is that the entire group
stays together for most business and social events. Each attendee
has ample opportunity to meet every other attendee, and
plenty of shared program content to talk about.
Few industry meetings have so consistently provided
the mix of information and fellowship that characterizes the AAIS Main
Event.
