The Annual Insurance Summit hosted by the Florida Chamber of Commerce is a much-anticipated event in the state’s insurance and banking sectors. This year, the speaker list for the event is extensive and impressive, promising engaging and insightful sessions for all attendees.
Annual Insurance Summit: A Gathering of Influencers
This year, the speaker roster at the Annual Insurance Summit includes some of the most influential names in Florida’s insurance and banking sectors. One of the key speakers at the event is Senator Blaise Ingoglia, Chair of the Senate Banking & Insurance Committee. Ingoglia is expected to share his priorities and insights into the legislative outlook for both industries.
Joining Ingoglia are other eminent personalities like Insurance Commissioner Michael Yaworsky, Citizens Property Insurance Corp. President and CEO Tim Cerio, Florida Division of Emergency Management Executive Director Kevin Guthrie, and Florida State Board of Administration Executive Director Chris Spencer. The confirmed speaker list also includes Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, although his participation may change due to his recent announcement to run for Florida’s 1st Congressional District.
The State of Florida’s Insurance Market
The Annual Insurance Summit comes at a crucial time for the state’s insurance market. Over the past two years, the market has been in a state of flux with many well-known insurers exiting the Florida market and several smaller carriers facing financial difficulties.
In response to these challenges, the state enacted insurance legislation aimed at stabilizing the market. Despite these measures, there is still much work to be done. House Speaker Daniel Perez and Senate President Ben Albritton have hinted at the possibility of more insurance legislation in their swearing-in speeches, emphasizing that they are closely monitoring the situation.
Looking Forward to the Summit
This year’s Summit is set to be held at the JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek, with an opening reception scheduled for Dec. 3 at 6 p.m. and the main program beginning the following morning. The event promises to be a high-profile gathering of industry leaders, offering attendees valuable insights into the future of Florida’s insurance and banking sectors.
In conclusion, the Annual Insurance Summit is not just a gathering of professionals from the insurance and banking sectors. It is an event that could shape the future of these industries in Florida. The discussions, networking opportunities, and insights gained from this summit could very well determine the direction these sectors take in the coming years.
