OVERVIEW AND TOPICS
Cannabis, An Evolving Topic - It’s Not Just A Drug
The trend toward mainstreaming and legitimizing marijuana is here and will continue to have a significant impact on the insurance industry. With that trend comes new regulations and a huge number of insurance questions and issues. Even today, there seems to be misunderstanding about the differences between hemp and cannabis. After a brief review of the history of cannabis in the U.S., participants will discuss the legal and regulatory issues. They will learn how the 2018 Farm Bill changed the landscape and what it effectively did. Using current ISO forms, they will examine insurance coverage considerations with farm, general liability, commercial property, as well as endorsements. They will discuss other associated issues and challenges with insuring hemp and cannabis risks including banking problems, transportation, medical marijuana and workers compensation, product liability, D&O, crime, E&O and medical professional, employment practices liability, and cyber.
Technology Trends and Other Changes in Agribusiness and Insurance
So much has changed…this isn’t your daddy’s way of farming. In this session, participants look at what these changes mean to the farmer, and how they need to be considered and addressed by those insurance professionals working with these Ag accounts. They will review drone technology for farms and agribusinesses, the current regulatory environment, and the risk management and insurance challenges and opportunities. They will examine the current growth of the agritourism industry, its impact on traditional farm coverage, and the proper methods to manage the various risks including applicable insurance. They will learn about precision farming and understand the myriad issues surrounding its increased use. They will be able to distinguish between farm management and custom farming and examine the risk management and insurance implications of each.
Understanding Occurrence and Claims-Made Triggers
In this session, agents will review the occurrence and claims-made forms and examine the difference in coverage triggers. They will be able to explain the difference between the pure claims made and the more common claims-made and reported forms of coverage. Using real-life examples and court cases, they will identify coverage gaps and discuss ways to avoid them. They will have a better understanding of the Commercial General Liability Occurrence and Claims-Made coverage forms, including the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Cutting Edge Insurance Issues
In this session, agents will identify emerging risks that could have a significant impact on their client’s business, their agency or organization, or even their career, such as: use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, medicinal and recreational marijuana, solar storms and falling satellites, autonomous vehicles, big data analytics, drones, nanotechnology, and ridesharing. They will discuss the exposures, coverage issues and gaps with traditional insurance policies, and explore possible insurance solutions to these unique risks.
