Optional Leadership Workshop: Control Conflict! Collaborate More. React Less.
*Optional Ticketed Event Conflict happens. Everyone approaches conflict differently but usually in the way that makes them feel most comfortable. For some, this may be direct confrontation, but for others, it may be avoidance. As someone who deals with difficult situations every day, you're expected to assess each conflict individually while resisting the innate urge to drift into your personal comfort zone. Having the skills to resolve intense and stressful opposing opinions effectively is one of the biggest challenges in today’s business world and is vital to success. This program uncovers results-focused strategies to help prevent, minimize and resolve conflict in the workplace, helping to work more collaboratively with both internal and external customers, to achieve successful outcomes and strive for enhanced relationships.

A. Governance Around the Use of AI
Amidst the regulatory uncertainty surrounding AI in insurance, regulators have consistently emphasized the need for insurers to implement an AI governance program. In 2023, the NAIC adopted a Model Bulletin on the Use of AI in Insurance, which 24 insurance departments have adopted to date, and which includes governance program expectations. So, what does it all mean, and how do insurers navigate implementing AI governance? This session will arm participants with information on AI Governance by: 1) walking through the current regulatory environment and requirements that exist around AI Governance; and 2) presenting insights from NAMIC member Harford Mutual on how it has established its governance framework utilizing existing guidance.

A. CEO Succession and the Role of the Board: Ensuring a Smooth Leadership Transition
CEO succession is one of the most critical responsibilities of a board of directors. A well-planned transition can set an organization up for long-term success, while a poorly managed process can lead to instability and lost value. In this session, we will explore the essential role of the board in CEO succession planning, from identifying potential candidates to managing leadership transitions effectively. In the VUCA world in which we are all operating, CEO succession is becoming an increasingly important issue, coupled with a high number of looming retirements in the short term. This session will provide attendees with the tools and framework needed to ensure a smooth transition process. The session will be designed for board members, senior executives, governance professionals, and leadership development practitioners who are responsible for or involved in succession planning and corporate governance.

FAQs
I am unable to attend the event in person. Is there an option to attend virtually?
No, this event is only being offered in-person.
What is the suggested attire for business and social gatherings?
Business casual attire is appropriate for all educational sessions, receptions, and meal functions.
If I already have my PFMM designation, do I have to attend the PFMM sessions?
If you are attending Convention for PFMM maintenance, you are welcome to attend any sessions you choose.
Do I have to attend the same type of session during every time slot?
No, you do not. The only sessions that are required are the PFMM courses for those who are working towards their PFMM designation. There does not have to be consistency in the types of sessions you choose to attend. We encourage you to attend courses that you will find most beneficial.
How do I obtain an advance copy of the attendee list?
In an effort to provide our sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, and attendees the best level of service, we will send an electronic list of current event registrants to the attendee or email listed as the main contact as follows:
- Attendees: A minimum of 10 days out from the event, in the pre-conference communication email;
- Sponsors: Approximately 60 days in advance of the event with paid sponsorship;
- Exhibitors: Approximately 30 days in advance of the event with paid booth registration; and
- Speakers: Approximately 30 days from the event.
Do I have to register for Convention to get a room in the official group room block?
Yes. The group room block has been negotiated with the designated Convention hotels for the benefit of registered attendees. We hope you will join us and be a part of the NAMIC community who have gathered over the Convention dates. If you attempt to reserve a room outside of NAMIC’s block, we are not able to assist you should you experience any problems with your reservation. We encourage you to reserve a room within the NAMIC block.
As a registered guest, what functions am I allowed to attend?
Registered guests are invited to attend the Chair’s Reception on Sunday evening, the Monday and Tuesday lunches, and the Wednesday Closing Celebration. Guests are also welcome at all general sessions.
What are the roundtable breakfasts that take place on Wednesday for the PFMM, FMDC, and PCC Senior Executives? Can I attend?
These are three outstanding networking opportunities designed with specific audiences in mind. Individuals who have attained their Professional Farm Mutual Manager designation will be invited to attend a casual breakfast to connect with peers, foster new relationships, and share insights. The FMDC Roundtable Breakfast is for attendees who have attained their Farm Mutual Director Certification. Likewise, the Property Casualty Conference Senior Executive Roundtable Breakfast is intended for the senior management of property/casualty primary insurance companies. This breakfast will have roundtable discussions on topics related to their operations and encourage the sharing of ideas. All three breakfasts will be by invitation only and are offered at no charge to the attendee thanks to generous sponsorship support.
How do I add Optional Activities to my registration?
