More than 1,040 CEOs and senior executives of property casualty insurance companies, reinsurers, brokers, intermediaries and underwriters gathered in New Orleans, La., for the largest gathering of property casualty insurance professionals in North America.
The 2011 PCI Annual Meeting, held Oct. 23-26 at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel, featured several notable speakers and informative panels which examined "Decision Making in an Era of Uncertainty."
The meeting began on Monday, October 24 with opening remarks from PCI President and CEO David A. Sampson. During his presentation, Sampson discussed the challenges we face operating in an era of political and economic uncertainty. According to Sampson, uncertainty is all around us, both natural and man-made, but the greatest uncertainty we face is the economic outlook.
