Learning, Networking and Growing: Future PLUS at the PLUS Symposia Series

Recently, PLUS hosted its annual PLUS Symposia Series in New York, bringing together members from across the world for a dynamic, multi-day experience centered on education and connection. The event welcomed professionals representing a wide range of business lines and included the presence of our young professionals.

Education Sessions and Networking Opportunities

The three-day program featured a robust lineup of educational sessions exploring current and emerging trends across the industry, including transactional risk liability, employment practices liability, D&O liability and cyber liability. These CE/CLE-eligible sessions provided timely insights designed to help attendees stay ahead in an evolving marketplace.

Beyond the sessions, the PLUS Symposia Series delivered meaningful networking opportunities, including hosted lunches and joint receptions that brought together prominent industry leaders and young professionals.

Many of the young professionals in attendance emphasized the value of connecting with peers and senior leaders while deepening their understanding of emerging industry trends. Here’s what they had to say:

“The PLUS Symposia Series continues to be one of the most valuable gatherings for understanding the evolving dynamics across the Cyber and D&O markets. I always walk away energized by the conversations and insights shared.”

— Darren Bloomfield, Account Executive, Cogitate

“Attending the Symposium as an Future PLUS member was an incredibly rewarding experience. The educational sessions deepened my understanding of emerging cyber risks and underwriting trends, and the opportunity to connect with executives, industry leaders, and peers made the experience both welcoming and inspiring.”

— Jessica Centeno, Senior Vice President, Cyber & Data Resilience, Kroll

An Evening of Impact: Future PLUS Supports the PLUS Foundation at Strikes

In addition to educational programming, Future PLUS members came together in support of the PLUS Foundation at the annual Strikes for Charity bowling event.

Established in 1998 as a nonprofit, the PLUS Foundation is committed to strengthening the professional liability community through outreach, education, mentoring, and charitable giving. Its mission focuses on cultivating a diverse and thriving workforce by expanding access to opportunities and resources for professionals at every stage of their careers. Proceeds from the annual Strikes for Charity event directly support the Foundation’s Leadership and Mentoring Program (LAMP), Women’s Leadership Network and Chapter Ally Grants.

Sponsored by the Future PLUS Advancement Initiative, a dedicated lane was reserved exclusively for Future PLUS members to enjoy an evening of bowling, food, drinks, and networking with professional liability experts across all industry lines. The evening offered a perfect blend of connection and purpose, bringing members together for a fun and memorable experience while supporting a mission that directly invests in the future of the professional liability industry.

I had such a wonderful experience connecting with other Future PLUS members at the PLUS Symposium. The designated Future PLUS lane at Strikes for Charity made it incredibly easy to meet new people. It was especially rewarding to feel like I’m building my professional network so early in my career.

— Gabrielle Vance, Associate, Wiley Rein LLP
