Severe convective storms remain a top loss driver, and recent years have shown how rising storm frequency, sharper intensity and growing exposure values are reshaping the global loss picture. Traditional views of this “secondary peril” are no longer sufficient, with aggregation pressure and pricing uncertainty mounting across portfolios. As reinsurers confront escalating volatility and climate-linked shifts in storm behaviour, the need for more granular modelling, smarter diversification and disciplined capacity deployment has never been more urgent.

By attending this webinar, you will:
- Assess how reinsurers can refine modelling techniques to better capture secondary peril volatility and regional variations in storm behaviour.
- Discuss strategies for portfolio diversification and risk transfer in response to escalating SCS losses.
- Evaluate the influence of climate trends, urban expansion, and construction inflation on future exposure and reinsurance pricing dynamics.
Speakers:
- Guenter Kryszon, Chief Underwriting Officer, Markel
- Moderator - Wyn Jenkins, Managing Editor, Intelligent Insurer

The Growing Severe Convective Storm Threat to Reinsurance Stability

Wildfire has shifted from a seasonal to a year-round volatility driver, and 2025 proved how quickly the risk is expanding into regions once viewed as marginal. Hotter temperatures, persistent drought and rapid WUI growth are amplifying loss severity, while legacy cat models lag behind the pace of change. For reinsurers, that means tougher pricing decisions, sharper aggregation stress and harder calls on capacity. This webinar tackles how to get ahead of those modelling gaps and strategic pressures.

By attending this webinar, you will:
-Explore how reinsurers can enhance modelling and data analytics to better quantify wildfire exposure and loss potential.
- Discuss approaches to managing aggregation risk, capital allocation, and coverage design in wildfire-prone markets.
- Examine the influence of climate adaptation measures, regulatory developments, and mitigation incentives on future underwriting and reinsurance strategies.

Speakers:
- Connie Masella, Executive Underwriting Officer of Property and Marine
- Moderator - Wyn Jenkins, Managing Editor, Intelligent Insurer

Meeting the Escalating Wildfire Threat to Reinsurance

Social inflation continued to unsettle reinsurers in 2025 and this is likely to remain true as we approach 2026, with a third straight year of reserve pressure and claim severity that keeps outpacing even strengthened pricing models. Escalating legal costs and the rapid expansion of third-party litigation funding are stretching casualty tails and amplifying volatility, making it harder to judge true risk and margin. These pressures are reshaping underwriting discipline and capital deployment: exactly why staying ahead of the trend is now a strategic imperative.

By attending this webinar, you will:
- Explore how reinsurers can strengthen pricing strategies to stay ahead of persistent social inflation trends.
- Learn practical approaches for managing reserve adequacy amid continued claim severity and rising costs.
- Examine the growing impact of third-party litigation funding on claim inflation and underwriting discipline.

Speakers include:
- Prof. Robert Hartwig, Director, Risk and Uncertainty Management Center, University of South Carolina

From Data to Decision: The Impact of Cyber Accumulation and Single Points of Failure on Underwriting

Back in February 2024, Air Canada lost a court case against a passenger when it tried - and failed - to disavow its AI-powered chatbot for giving incorrect information. As many organizations become reliant on AI, this exposes them to a host of risks, including reputational damage, financial loss, compliance challenges, and litigation. In fact, AI was ranked # 1 among Board-identified risks, surpassing Cyber.
 
So how can insurers prepare for arguably the biggest emerging risk of the century?  Should the industry stop covering AI related risks?  Adapt existing policies?  Or will we see a new line of business emerging? 
 
For commercial insurers, the race is on to pinpoint the exposure created by AI (especially within Cyber, D&O, E&O, R&W) and create a game-plan for existing - and future - policies.  
 
Get your step-by-step guide to the opportunities and challenges around AI risks in this upcoming webinar: 

- Discuss how existing policies (Cyber, D&O, E&O, Reps & Warranties) need to change to account for the new risks from AI
- Understand the tactics insurers can take to protect themselves:  Adding specific provisions and limitations, accounting for AI oversight and AI-driven decision-making and determining liability when errors involve both human and AI recommendations 
- Find out how the risk data should be measured - in underwriting and post-binding - to price and reduce the AI risks
- Debate the opportunity for the creation of new AI products to meet policy holders’ needs

Gen-AI in Action: Automating and Enhancing Complex Workflows in Claims

Spiraling costs following a cyber breach present a huge challenge for both insureds and insurers. Following an incident, insurers need to stay close to the incident and have a comprehensive understanding of the costs. Pre-vetting of vendors is crucial; you should consider the type of incident, and the insured. 
 
To put it simply, delivering a disaster response plan that ensures business continuity and restores core functionality means you need the right partners involved in the right incidents.   
 
Take for example, data mining. It’s a pain point in terms of unpredictable costs.  Insurers that hunt down the right vendors to help them efficiently process the data, and reduce manual intervention, will be the winners. 
 
Tune into this webinar to:   
- Ensure your incident response plan is robust and regularly updated: Analyze the gaps to minimize downtime and losses 
- Avoid volatile costs: Resolve unknowns and uncertainties, especially around large data sets, and evaluate how many people are impacted, and the scope of the attack 
- Discuss strategies for working with vendors you trust, conducting due diligence, and getting accurate quotes without costs spiraling 
- Address the challenges of a third-party breach, including data mining and notification covering multiple countries and languages
- Investigate your preferred vendors’ rates and review contracts and retainer agreements to ensure that respective responsibilities and assumed liability is in place well in advance of an incident
