 Annual Invitational Insurance Management Seminar

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.”

Seminar attendance is limited to approximately 35 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.
