As the insurance industry evolves, staying ahead of the curve becomes increasingly important. For insurance companies looking to invest in their future, sending young professional employees to key industry events like the PLUS Symposium Series is an invaluable opportunity. Scheduled for March 2025 in New York City, these four events cover essential business lines such as Cyber, Directors & Officers (D&O), Employment Practices Liability (EPL), and Transactional Risk. Packed with CE-eligible sessions on the latest in the industry and excellent networking opportunities, here’s why your company should consider sending young professionals to these high-impact events:

1. Skill Development and Knowledge Growth

In an ever-changing insurance market, it’s essential for employees to stay ahead of emerging risks and developments. The PLUS Symposium Series offers an in-depth look at crucial business lines like Cyber and Transactional Risk, which are gaining traction as the world becomes more connected and complex.

By attending, young professionals will gain expertise in specialized areas of increasing demand, ensuring they’re equipped with the knowledge needed to meet the evolving challenges in these fields. Additionally, the CE-eligible sessions provide a chance for attendees to enhance their technical knowledge while remaining compliant with industry standards and regulations.

2. Improved Decision-Making and Problem-Solving Skills

During the event, participants will engage in sessions led by industry leaders, who will explore the latest trends and best practices for managing professional liability risks. This direct exposure to real-world challenges allows young professionals to think critically and apply what they learn in their daily roles. The insights gained will help them become more effective decision-makers and problem-solvers, benefitting the company’s bottom line.

3. Networking Opportunities with Industry Leaders

One of the most valuable aspects of any conference is the opportunity to network, and the PLUS Symposium Series is no exception. With professionals in attendance from various business lines and companies, young professionals will have the chance to meet peers, mentors, and industry veterans, fostering relationships that could lead to future collaborations or career advancement.

Networking at events like this helps attendees build a support system within the industry. These connections not only enhance individual career development but also increase the company’s influence within the broader insurance landscape.

4. Long-Term Talent Retention

This investment not only helps with talent retention but also boosts morale by giving employees the chance to gain new knowledge and skills that will propel their careers forward.

Employees who feel supported and empowered to grow professionally are more likely to stay with the company, reducing turnover and creating a more stable, high-performing team.

5. Exposure to Emerging Risks

The insurance industry is undergoing a major shift, and new risks are emerging faster than ever before. Cyber risk, D&O, and EPL are just a few areas that are seeing rapid growth, and staying up to date on the latest trends is essential. Sending younger employees to the PLUS Symposium Series equips your team to address these challenges head-on, enabling your company to offer innovative solutions to clients and maintain a competitive edge.

Young professionals are often at the forefront of new ideas and innovations. By giving them the opportunity to attend the PLUS Symposium Series, you empower them to bring fresh perspectives back to the office. These new ideas could lead to improvements in processes, product offerings, or customer service, all of which help the company stay competitive.

The PLUS Symposium Series offers an unparalleled opportunity for young professionals to advance their knowledge from industry leaders, network with peers, and bring fresh ideas back to their company.
