HO Part 1: Definitions, Liability Coverage & Conditions

Catalyit Live: The Biggest Risk in Your Business Isn’t Cyber

WEBINAR | APRIL 16 | FREE for members
Most insurance agencies believe their biggest risks come from cyber threats or compliance requirements. In reality, the greater risk is what hasn’t been identified. Join Walter Contreras of Motiva Networks as he explores the hidden gaps that exist in many IT environments—not because businesses are negligent, but because those gaps are rarely uncovered or validated.

E&O Seminar

WEBINAR | APRIL 15 (1 additional date remaining) | 3 CE
Join us for this jam-packed seminar where our E&O gurus, Brian Bixby and Howard Kronberg, offer decades of knowledge to leave you with the best practices to stay out of hot water. Earn 3 CE credits and a potential premium credit too!

Recognizing Fraudulent Claims and the Insureds Who File Them

WEBINAR | APRIL 21 | 3 CE
Despite escalating punishments for offenders, claims fraud remains prevalent. Books of business managed by even the most exceptional insurance pros–people who wouldn’t break a rule under any circumstance–are not immune to insureds who, for whatever reason, choose to be dishonest. Instructor Kym Martell will provide a variety of examples and case studies, and attendees will learn best practices of how to deal with fraudulent prospects, insureds, and claims.
