Free Virtual Event on November 17 Will Feature Expert Panels on Cyber Risk, Commercial Auto, Terrorism and Natural Catastrophes
November 10, 2026 — From AI-powered cyberattacks and escalating commercial auto verdicts to geopolitical instability and increasingly costly natural catastrophes, the property/casualty insurance industry faces a rapidly evolving risk landscape.
Insurance professionals looking for insights into these challenges and the latest strategies for managing them are invited to attend the Risky Future Summit, a free virtual event taking place Tuesday, November 17, beginning at 1 p.m. ET.
The summit will bring together insurance and risk management experts for four panel discussions examining some of the most consequential risks confronting businesses, insurers and insurance buyers today. Panelists will explore emerging threats, evolving insurance solutions and the technologies and strategies helping organizations anticipate, mitigate and transfer risk.
Designed for risk managers, insurance brokers, agents, carriers, underwriters, claims professionals and other P/C industry stakeholders, the event will offer practical insights into four critical areas:
Innovate Fast, Defend Faster: Managing Cyber Risk in the Age of AI
Artificial intelligence is transforming business operations while simultaneously creating new opportunities for cybercriminals. This panel will explore how insurers and other organizations can harness AI to improve productivity and efficiency without introducing additional security vulnerabilities. Experts will discuss emerging cyber threats, the importance of cybersecurity fundamentals, the risks of rushing technology implementation and the essential elements of effective AI governance.
Better Data, Better Outcomes: Technology, Safety and the Fight Against Rising Verdicts in Commercial Auto
With social inflation and increasingly large jury verdicts driving claims severity, commercial auto remains a challenging insurance market. This panel will examine how telematics, dash cameras, AI, driver monitoring and other technologies can help prevent accidents, improve fleet safety and strengthen claims defenses. Experts will also discuss the importance of driver coaching, safety culture and documentation in reducing losses and limiting exposure to costly litigation.
Terrorism & Political Violence: Managing Risk Beyond TRIA
More than two decades after the creation of the federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, businesses face an increasingly complicated mix of terrorism, civil unrest, political violence and geopolitical threats. This discussion will examine the evolving role of TRIA, potential gaps in terrorism and political violence coverage, and the insurance and risk management solutions available to businesses. Panelists will explore how insurers, brokers and risk managers are responding to emerging threats at home and abroad.
Rethinking Catastrophe Risk with Data & Analytics
As natural catastrophe exposures become more complex, insurers and risk managers are turning to advanced analytics, modeling and artificial intelligence to better anticipate and respond to losses. This panel will explore how emerging technologies are improving catastrophe risk assessment, mitigation and claims response. Experts will also address the growing impact of secondary perils, including wildfires, severe convective storms and flooding, and new approaches to managing catastrophe exposures.
Practical Insights for an Evolving Risk Landscape
Across all four discussions, the Risky Future Summit will focus on the intersection of emerging threats, technology, insurance coverage and practical risk management.
Attendees will gain perspectives on how the industry is adapting to new exposures, where traditional insurance and risk mitigation strategies may fall short, and how improved data, technology and collaboration can help businesses build greater resilience.
Registration is free and open to insurance and risk management professionals.
