Nick Saban Announced as Featured Speaker for the 2025 PLUS Conference in Orlando

The Professional Liability Underwriting Society (PLUS) is proud to announce its highly anticipated 2025 PLUS Conference, returning to Orlando, Florida, on November 10–12, 2025 at the luxurious JW Marriott Grande Lakes—a world-class venue situated on 500 acres featuring a PGA Championship golf course and state-of-the-art meeting spaces.

As the premier event in the professional liability insurance industry for over 38 years, the PLUS Conference continues to be where business is conducted, connections are made and renewed, and where education goes far beyond just earning CE credits.

This year’s Conference, chaired by a dedicated team of industry leaders, will explore an overarching theme focused on emerging trends and intensifying risks, including those that cross multiple lines of coverage and keep organizations up at night. Topics will cover a wide spectrum, including:

•  The evolving regulatory landscape
•  The role of our industry in leading tort reform around social inflation and nuclear verdicts
•  Reinsurance market dynamics
• The rise and impact of artificial intelligence

PLUS is also thrilled to announce this year’s headline speaker:

• Nick Saban, legendary former University of Alabama football coach and the only coach to win seven national championships and eleven SEC titles, will take the stage during Monday’s opening session. Coach Saban will be interviewed by Sarah M. Abrams, J.D., Head of Claims Operations at Baleen Specialty, a division of Bowhead Specialty Underwriters. The discussion will feature essential insights such as Coach Saban’s approach to leadership, the art of pivoting, and the transition of college sports to paid athletes.

“PLUS has always been committed to delivering top-tier education and networking opportunities for our 45,000+ members, and the 2025 Conference is no exception,” said La’Vonda McLean of Marsh and 2025 PLUS Conference Chair. “From forward-looking thought leadership to dynamic speaker sessions and strategic business development opportunities, this event is designed to move the industry forward.”
