About The Event
This annual event gathers commercial and personal lines underwriting, product development, and loss control professionals for three days of education, relationship-building, personal growth, and industry insight.
The popular Sponsor Showcase gathers a variety of solutions providers to display their technology, products, software, and innovations for attendees. Education is at the heart of the event agenda with more than 25 sessions offered over three days. Dedicated tracks provided in the areas of commercial lines, personal lines, underwriting technology, industry issues, and professional development.
Peer-led roundtable discussions allow for attendees to engage directly with their peers on issues important to them. These dedicated small group discussions help introduce new ideas, spark innovation, and build community among attendees.
This is a can’t-miss event for underwriters, those whose clients are underwriters, and anyone involved in the success of an underwriting department in the property/casualty insurance industry.
This event was an outstanding opportunity to learn and network within our industry. The length of time was right, and the optional activities added a good variety to the experience.

Commercial and Personal Lines Seminar attendees are responsible for making their own travel and hotel arrangements. A set number of rooms are available at the group rate for registered conference attendees until Monday, February 4, 2026, or until the group block is sold out, whichever comes first. After this time, the hotel has the right to sell any available rooms at a rate which they choose. While NAMIC studies past attendance trends and the needs of our members, we cannot guarantee rooms will be available. Please plan ahead and secure a reservation as soon as possible to receive the group rate.
To ensure that enough hotel rooms are available for conference attendees, NAMIC reserves the right to limit attendees to one room per registered attendee within the discounted guest room block. If this occurs, additional rooms can be reserved at the hotel’s list rates as long as rooms are available.
