Florida OIR to Host its Own Insurance Summit in April With Regulators, Industry Leaders

The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation will host its own insurance summit in April, calling it a chance to hear from industry professionals and regulators, Insurance Commissioner Michael Yaworsky announced this week.

The agenda for the April 14-15 summit in Tallahassee has not been set, but it will be “built around the need for forward-thinking solutions in a rapidly evolving industry,” the OIR said in the announcement.

“Crucially, the summit will feature the participation of insurance regulators from around the country, offering a national perspective on market pressures, solvency, and consumer protection gaps,” the office noted.

Discussions will focus on resiliency, Florida’s building code, artificial intelligence (AI) in underwriting, advanced modeling techniques for assessing risk, and the standardization of data collection to improve regulatory oversight and market transparency.

The conference will be in the Augustus Turnbull center at Florida State University. The office said more information and an agenda will be posted soon.
