‘Dangerous times’: geopolitical tensions, regulatory failings—APCIA sets its agenda

The world is experiencing a very dangerous moment. Geopolitical tensions are peaking in many parts of the world, the economic outlook is turbulent—and catastrophe losses, potentially made worse by climate change, continue to surprise. Yet insurers must navigate these choppy waters, which is what the content planned for the 2023 APCIA conference is designed to do.

That is the pitch of David Sampson, the president and chief executive officer of the American Property Casualty Insurance Association (APCIA), speaking ahead of this year’s conference in Boston. He says the central theme of this year’s event is managing risks and the business of risk transfer—but that means assessing the many unknowns and threats for its members.
