Sep. 15, 2009 (Business Wire) -- Summit Business Media, a leading media company serving the business-to-business market, announces its 21st Annual Executive Conference for the Property-Casualty Industry taking place November 12-13, 2009 at The New York Palace Hotel.
The Executive Conference for the Property-Casualty Industry draws together the most senior level audience of professionals within the property-casualty insurance industry. It is an opportunity to engage in conversation and exchange ideas with CEOs and senior executives from leading insurance companies and other financial institutions, as well as insurance commissioners, government officials and key industry analysts.
In light of the continued market uncertainty that property and casualty insurers are facing, we have developed an exciting and stimulating program. A distinguished roster of speakers and visionary thinkers will present their views on topics that are at the forefront of everyone’s mind in these difficult times.
This year’s roster of speakers includes Michael S. McGavick, Chief Executive Officer of XL Capital, who will share his thoughts on how the CEO role is being redefined in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Kristi Matus, CFO at USAA, will participate on a panel of leading CFOs to discuss strategies for guiding companies through a changing landscape of financial reporting, regulation, risk management, and increased transparency. Brian Duperreault, President & CEO of Marsh & McLennan Companies, and Joseph J. Plumeri, Chairman & CEO of Willis Group Holdings, will examine key issues and global opportunities from a broker leadership perspective. “We are delighted that such an impressive group of executives have agreed to share their thoughts. In these challenging times we’re certain the property-casualty insurance leaders attending this year’s Executive Conference will greatly benefit from their insights,” said Shelia Brennan, Program Director for the Executive Conference.
