NY P&C Insurance Summit

Header and Body

Insurance plays a vital role in the daily lives of New York families and businesses, driving innovation, fostering growth, and providing economic security. The system functions best when consumers can easily access affordable, adequate property and casualty coverage. Today, the market is facing a series of ongoing challenges—some within our control, others less so—that are hindering New Yorkers' ability to adequately protect themselves from risk and loss. 

This event brings together industry leaders, policymakers, and individuals directly impacted by the current market conditions to explore the causes and consequences of these challenges and chart a path for stability and access for all.

Effect of the Current Marketplace

45 minutes

In a hard market, premiums increase, accessibly decreases, and competition wains.  Soft markets are generally the inverse.  What does the data and customer experience tell us about the current environment and the challenges that lie ahead regardless of market cycle?
