Our annual conference is right around the corner, and I’m excited to share with you all the work that has gone into making this show a truly spectacular one. In keeping with this year’s theme of “Ready. Set. Future,” here’s a peek into what I’m most excited for attendees to experience when we gather together again on March 29, 2023.
Each year, there is stiff competition among our membership to turn their ideas into sessions that educate and inform. What takes these presentations to the next level is our signature roundtable format. Banished are the Powerpoints and “sit and get” approach, and in its place are the dynamic discussions and interactivity this conference is known for.
I’m also excited to hear what futurist Nancy Giordano has to share with attendees on our opening night. What will her crystal ball reveal? She promises to focus on building a safe, inclusive, thriving future, and that’s a message I can certainly get behind. Following her address will be one of my favorite jobs each year: announcing our professionals of the year award winners and recognizing our Lifetime Achievement winner. Speaking of the latter, this year’s recipient is Larry Beemer, HCC Casualty Insurance Services Inc.’s vice president of casualty claims. Beemer has been part of CLM from the very beginning and is someone who truly embodies our organization’s values and commitment to education and collaboration. This is evident in his role in co-creating our Litigation Management Institute and serving as a dean for Claims College’s School of Litigation Management. He’s a dear friend and confidant, and I look forward to providing him with the recognition he truly deserves.
Lastly, I also want to hear from you. As part of an “Ask Me Anything” panel consisting of chief claims officers, I want to know what some of your biggest questions are as they relate to your careers and the industry in general. This is your chance to get answers to the questions you’ve always wanted to ask of our industry’s top leaders, so don’t miss out. Simply click here, type in your question, and it may get answered at the show.
These are just a few of the things I’m excited about—make sure to read Around the CLM for more details of the conference and see what those who have already registered are looking forward to the most. It’s going to be an amazing event, and I look forward to seeing everyone there!
All the best –
