ABOUT THIS EVENT

This conference will provide attendees with a 360-degree understanding of the business of surety, where outcomes are shaped not only by underwriting and claims decisions but also by the relationships among contractors, sureties, agents and brokers, lenders, and other stakeholders.

MORE INFORMATION

Program Co-Chairs Melissa Lee, Charcretia Di Bartolo and David Harris have assembled an extraordinary ensemble of speakers to deliver timely, practical, and forward-looking insight into today’s evolving surety landscape. Through thought-provoking sessions and expert-led discussions, participants will explore how claim handling shapes the business of surety, how emerging trends in construction, indemnity, and bond forms are reshaping risk allocation, and how alignment and collaboration across stakeholders impacts results.

From examining unique bond types to unpacking the complexities of modern intercreditor relationships, attendees will gain insight that extends beyond technical proficiency to encompass strategic risk management, relationship-building, and proactive risk mitigation. Participants will leave with a more holistic understanding of surety, a strengthened perspective on stakeholder dynamics, and the confidence to navigate the new frontier of surety risk.
