The Professional Liability Underwriting Society (PLUS) held its 37th annual conference in Chicago, Illinois, from November 13-15, 2024.
The PLUS conference is the premier event for management and professional liability professionals and a great opportunity to hear from industry leaders, build new connections, and learn innovative solutions. The conference was a success and well-attended, with just under 1200 attendees, and presented a wide variety of content and information.
The impact of new ideas and innovations on the industry and the importance of being adaptable in a constantly changing and volatile world were key themes of the conference.
Aon’s CEO, Greg Case, discussed, among other things, how four megatrends, trade, technology, weather and workforce, will shape the future of business and the insurance industry.
Financial Services Group professionals Nick Reider, Adam Furmansky, Kary Trocchia, and Jay Desjardins discussed trends and themes in management and professional liability in various speaking sessions:
- Noting that artificial intelligence (AI), large derivative settlements, and securities claims trends will continue to be points of discussion for clients and insurers.
- Having nuanced discussions exploring the risk of AI adoption and usage and the impact AI is having on claims trends.
- Examining how AI is used as an opportunity to foster growth and propel industries forward, as well the evolving regulatory landscape in the U.S. and the EU AI Act’s compliance requirements.
- Discussing the latest developments in fiduciary liability, addressing emerging ERISA risks and plaintiffs' new theories in prudence and excessive fee litigation, including 401(k)/403(b) plan litigation and health plan fee litigation.
PLUS events are a great opportunity to network, learn new solutions and learn about upcoming trends within management and professional liability. We look forward to upcoming PLUS events and hope you can join us for the symposium series in New York City on March 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 24th, 2025, featuring the latest trends in Employment Practices Liability, Cyber, D&O, and Transactional Risk.
