All New Program

For insurance and reinsurance companies

Maximizing multicultural markets
Unlock the secrets of success in
urban and emerging areas

Boost profitability and cut underwriting risk
with new tools and information

For experienced writers and companies seeking to gain marketplace entry

As America becomes more diverse and concentrated in urban areas, insurance and reinsurance companies must innovatively respond to prosper. But, underwriting, marketing and regulatory challenges unique to the market confront even the most ambitious companies.

Current large writers and new entrants to urban and emerging markets will gain the latest must-have information during this workshop. Prominent insurance regulators; nationally recognized legal advisors, specializing in insurance; and corporate executives, with proven results in multicultural markets, will lead the sessions.

You will learn:
details on a promising new underwriting approach for multicultural markets;
strategies to strengthen diversity marketing;
ways to discover hidden information in emerging areas;
how insurance regulations, current and upcoming, will affect your business; and
approaches to the disparate financial services needs of emerging markets.

The Urban Insurance Partners Institute was founded in 1996 by the insurance industry to help companies become more successful in urban and emerging markets.
