With over 5,000 delegates and over 400 industry leaders in attendance, the conference is already proving to be a dynamic platform for networking, collaboration, and thought leadership.

Kempton and Wardlaw delved into the complex landscape that personal lines insurance is navigating today. "The world is complicated," Kempton observed.
