Risk, Resilience and Revolution: Handling Political and Economic Challenges in BI claims
Over the past year alone, Business Interruption (BI) policies have been put to the test like never before - facing challenges from rising global tariffs, supply chain disruptions, escalating cyber risks, and the impacts of political violence. Meanwhile, traditional triggers such as property damage and non-damage events continue to evolve, with recent landmark rulings on furlough shedding light on long-standing uncertainties.

Gain valuable perspectives on adapting to current events and understanding policy responses, while connecting with industry peers through extensive networking opportunities during and after the sessions.
