Several of the US's chief insurance regulators will participate in a special keynote panel presentation during the 2015 E-Reg Conference, presented by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR).
In addition to NAIC CEO Senator Ben Nelson, the 27 April panel will feature: Monica Lindeen, NAIC president and Montana insurance commissioner; John Huff, NAIC president-elect and Missouri insurance director; Sharon Clark, NAIC vice president and Kentucky insurance commissioner; and Stephen Robertson, Indiana insurance commissioner.
The commissioners will share their own perspectives on several issues impacting the insurance industry, including cybersecurity, healthcare reform, ride-sharing, principle-based reserving, producer licensing, market regulation, interstate collaboration and international insurance issues.
On 29 April, a special session on cybersecurity will be presented by former NAIC president and North Dakota insurance commissioner Adam Hamm. This is in addition to sessions focused on managing and assessing cybersecurity risk.
Other sessions will focus on regulator and industry hot topics including ride-sharing, suitability, market regulation accreditation, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, the National Association of Registered Agents and Brokers Reform Act and the impact of the Affordable Care Act on consumers and the industry.
This year's conference will be held at the Westin Kansas City at Crown Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
