Annual Invitational Insurance Management Seminar
Program Overview
Each year since 1976, The University of Georgia has sponsored an Invitational Insurance Management Seminar to provide an opportunity for off-the-record discussion among risk management and insurance industry leaders. The seminar features informal discussion (no speeches) on selected topics suggested in advance by the participants. Top University of Georgia students introduce many of the topics to be discussed, with the discussion focused primarily on property liability insurance and risk management issues. The unique approach offered by this event was recognized in 1996 by the American Risk and Insurance Association, which awarded the seminar its "Strickler Award for Instructional Innovation."
Available accreditation includes: Continuing Education Units and Continuing Education through the Georgia Insurance Department.
Who Should Attend
Seminar attendance is limited to approximately 40 industry executives to assure that the group will be small enough for active participation by everyone. The mix of risk management, insurance brokerage, and insurance company participants makes the seminar particularly unique. In addition to the industry representatives, all Risk and Insurance faculty and some of our top students majoring in Risk Management and Insurance will be at the seminar. Each discussion session has a faculty moderator who encourages free and open analysis of the issues raised. A set of discussion questions is sent to all registrants about three weeks prior to the Seminar.
Benefits
The Annual Invitational Insurance Management Seminar will provide a relaxed setting for the meaningful exchange of ideas between risk management and insurance executives, risk and insurance faculty, along with some of our very best students.
