    • Firsthand insights from the Federal Insurance Office; 
    • Emerging international issues facing global insurers and affecting transnational markets; 
    • Highlights of 2015 NAIC priorities;
    • Current federal insurance regulatory issues, such as implementation of the reauthorized TRIA and systemic risk criteria; 
    • Self-Driving Cars ‒ Regulatory Dilemma?;  and
    • The always-stimulating “Commissioners’ Roundtable,” which brings together influential state insurance regulators for a panel showcasing their views on recent insurance legal and regulatory developments.
