Current Issues in Insurance Regulation 2016

Friday, April 15 | 8:30 am – 1 pm

Francine L. Semaya
Legal & Regulatory Consultant

 

  • The 26th annual program on Current Issues in Insurance Regulation features regional and national leaders exploring topical issues of importance to the insurance industry, with opportunities for questions and interaction with the faculty. As in prior programs, we will address up-to-the-minute, cutting edge regulatory issues affecting industry and consumers alike.  Among the likely “hot” topics for this year’s program are:

    • Cybersecurity standards;
    • Global solvency and market conduct rules set by other countries’ regulators: Why small and medium sized companies should care;
    • Emerging international issues facing global insurers and affecting transnational markets;
    • Changes at the NAIC including some recent departures of key insurance commissioners;
    • An update from Washington; and,
    • The always-stimulating “Commissioners’ Roundtable,” which brings together influential state insurance regulators for a panel showcasing their vantage point on recent insurance-law developments.
