Dear Colleague,

Would you like to gain exclusive insights into how to maximize opportunities for insuring extreme weather events, whilst implementing effective loss management and risk mitigation measures?

If so, we invite you to join us at the Extreme Weather Insurance Risk Management

Congress 2013, where you will hear over 20 Senior Risk, Underwriting And Claims Officers’ perspectives from leading and innovative insurance carriers, covering the

primary as well as excess and surplus markets.

With wildfire losses reaching an all time high in 2012 and $136 billion of total

property value being constantly under high threat, tornadoes causing $26 billion losses

in 2011, and severe windstorms causing massive flooding damage, it is imperative that

the gap in understanding non-modeled perils is tackled.

In order to sustain the profitability of extreme weather insurance it will be

crucial to find better ways to model and aggregate risk, critically evaluate the best

approaches to risk management, and understand the science behind the increase in

frequency and intensity of weather events.

Addressing this dynamic challenge, the Extreme Weather Insurance Risk

Management Congress 2013 will provide an in depth peril-by-peril analysis, through a business–strategic lens, to unravel the most effective strategic approaches, best

practices and latest advancements in managing non-modeled and less precisely modeled perils and exposures.

This is a key opportunity not only to understand how to best prevent continued erosion of capital, but also to discover innovative ways to meet increasing market demand for tornado, hail, flood, winterstorm, wildfire and, of course, hurricane

coverages for inland and coastal areas.

This must-attend event, designed according to industry needs, will help you tap

into the future direction of extreme weather insurance, assess tools for developing a

more individual view of risk and subsequently, employ a more robust, accurate and sustainable natural catastrophe portfolio.
