National General Counsel Conference 2022 | American Property Casualty Insurance Association (APCIA) | 26 October 2022 | JW Marriott Atlanta Buckhead, 3300 Lenox Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326, USA

We’re pleased to once again offer legal professionals a full, two-day agenda of top-notch content on legal and regulatory issues, tailored to the property casualty insurance company perspective. In addition, this year, we offer content of particular interest to Claims Managers, Claims Supervisors and Claims Executives. The agenda will feature topics on bad faith, biometric privacy, catastrophe claims, ESG, and we’re excited to announce the return of the Insurance Department General Counsel Panel!

The full, in-person experience will allow attendees to gather insightful and actionable information, earn CLE credits, and network with industry peers in a safe and relaxed setting.

We will continue to monitor the guidelines provided by federal, state, and local agencies and will implement necessary safeguards. The health of our members, staff, and conference attendees is and will remain a top priority.
