A View into Construction Costs
Proudly Sponsored By:

While some of us may be used to tackling clients’ questions around “why does it cost this much to insure my home?” We don’t often have the perspective from an outsider on what impacts construction costs.  We invite you to get in the game during this segment to listen, learn, and ask questions to a high-end builder, risk manager, and remediation companies to help you better quarterback these construction conversations with your clients.

Threats to Reputational Risk

Threats to reputation are real, impactful, and wide-reaching. A client who has a child in the household has a lot to protect. Specifically, children are susceptible to cyberbullying either as the victim or the aggressor. This presents a special risk to the reputation of the entire family for which the child’s actions, or inaction, reflect upon. This breakout session will provide an overview of the multiple elements creating this perfect storm, discuss if or how personal insurance coverage would respond, the wide-ranging impact of a cyberbullying event, and delve into proposed solutions to curb or prevent situations from arising.

Prioritizing Home Maintenance!
Proudly Sponsored by:

A top concern facing homeowners is the increase of extreme weather impacting areas that we normally did not see before.  While so much is out of your client’s control when it comes to these weather-related catastrophes, there is still so much within their control when it comes to safeguarding their homes.  This inspiring session will help you motivate your clients to prioritize their home protection and preventative maintenance before it’s a mandatory recommendation or another catastrophe strikes.  You will walk away with top tips from Risk Managers countrywide on how to help your clients become better risks for the future.
