RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES: Legalization of Cannabis, Catastrophic Losses, Artificial Intelligence, Hacking, the Reviver Statute, and more!

Join us for an eventful ARIAS Spring Conference in West Palm Beach.  With so many events impacting the insurance and reinsurance markets, you won’t want to miss this conference. This last year presented the insurance and reinsurance industry with new and controversial events that made us question how we should deal with many coverage related issues.  Is there a business opportunity for reinsurers for cannabis related business, and if so, what are the risks? What are the legal and regulatory implications of Artificial Intelligence and how will they impact arbitration disputes? How does Hacking effect our business? How does the Reviver Statute impact coverage and what are the implications for reinsurance? Is there an unforeseen bias in arbitrations?  Join us for these and other insightful sessions presented by a group of experienced arbitrators, company representatives and attorneys.
