Claims Conference 2018
February 6-8, 2018 | Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista | Orlando, Fla.
Dear Speaker,
Thank you for taking the time to complete this speaker proposal for the NAMIC Claims Conference. This form is a tool
used to gather potential speaker names, session content, and other important details as we work to develop the curriculum
for the 2018 NAMIC Claims Conference.
To help you tailor your content to the target audience for the conference, please know that the audience consists primarily
of claims managers, claims VPs, and claims directors of property/casualty insurance companies domiciled primarily in the
U.S. and a few in Canada. Many have been in the claims industry for 10 years or more. Last year more than 140 claims
professionals representing more than 90 property casualty companies were in attendance. The conference also welcomes a
vibrant exhibit show with more than 40 booths and more than 100 exhibitors in attendance. The audience is interactive
and appreciates the opportunity to dialog with speakers and peers in the sessions.
Educational topics are selected and developed by the NAMIC Claims Conference Planning Committee, which is a group
of professionals who have volunteered to serve in an advisory function for the conference. Each session is guided by a
pair of committee members; we call them Session Chairs. You will work throughout the process with the Session Chairs
and the professional NAMIC staff member, Amy Thornburg, who is the conference planner.
Please note that educational sessions should not include any commercial information about a product or service. Proposals
which mention a specific brand or product will likely not be considered. Proposals with the intent of “client development”
should not be submitted.
