The Agenda
The Risky Future Summit is a full day of speakers and presentations you can access from your home or office. Here is the agenda for the day.
12pm ET
Part 1: Innovate Fast, Defend Faster: Managing Cyber Risk in the Age of AI
As artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies transform many industries, insurers are racing to capture the benefits. Meanwhile, cyberattackers are similarly looking to use AI, and insurers join others in facing pressure to innovate without creating more vulnerabilities.
This panel explores how insurers can stay ahead of rapidly evolving threats while building AI frameworks to improve production and efficiency. Panelists will discuss what happens when attacks move quickly, getting the fundamentals right, and how companies can balance technology with security and resilience.12:45pm ET
Part 2: Better Data, Better Outcomes: Technology, Safety and the Fight Against Rising Verdicts in Commercial Auto
Commercial auto remains one of the most challenging areas of the insurance market, as social inflation and increasingly large jury verdicts affect insurers' claims severity. Insurers, fleet operators, and trucking companies search for ways to stem the tide. This webinar will explore the tools, technologies, and risk-management strategies that are effective in reducing crashes, improving driver behavior, and strengthening the defense of commercial auto claims. Panelists will discuss how telematics, cameras, artificial intelligence, driver monitoring and other technologies are being used to identify dangerous behaviors before they lead to costly accidents.
1:30pm ET
Part 3: Terrorism & Political Violence: Managing Risk Beyond TRIA
Terrorism risk has changed significantly since the federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act was created following 9/11. Today, businesses face a broader and increasingly complex landscape that can include domestic and international terrorism, political violence, civil unrest, cyber threats, and geopolitical instability. This panel will examine how TRIA has evolved, where the federal backstop applies—and where potential protection gaps remain. Panelists will offer perspectives on public policy, available insurance solutions and how large businesses can assess, mitigate and transfer terrorism and political violence risks.
2:15pm ET
Part 4: Rethinking Catastrophe Risk with Data & Analytics
As natural catastrophe exposures grow more complex, risk managers and insurers are turning to advanced technology, data and analytics to better understand, prepare for and respond to loss. This webinar will examine how emerging risk technologies are being used to improve catastrophe modeling, exposure management, mitigation, and claims response. Panelists will also explore the expanding role of artificial intelligence in catastrophe planning as well as the challenges associated with its use. The discussion will address new approaches to managing increasing global catastrophe risk, with particular attention to secondary perils such as wildfires, severe convective storms, flooding and other increasingly costly events.
