Private Equity: Impact on the Insurance Industry
Friday, February 22 
· 9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.

The insurance sector has seen an explosion in growth from private equity investors as investors see the disruptions in the marketplace opportunities to make a profit. Also, as investors gain more insurance industry experience, they've grown more comfortable with what often is seen as a complex industry.

Because private equity favors investments in areas where a market has been displaced, the property/casualty market has been a popular investment choice in recent years.

To examine this issue, a panel of private equity fund experts will provide an overview of private equity on the insurance industry, and specialty lines in particular. The panel will look at what are private equity investors are looking for; how they operate; and the impact on the business and the industry.

A Pollster's Odds: Betting on the 2008 Election
Saturday, February 23 · 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.

With no incumbent running for the White House and a number of Representative and Senators retiring in 2008, will there be more upheavals in Washington?

To review the prospects, Jordan Lieberman, Publisher of Campaigns & Elections magazine, will review the various races and the impact on members associated with the industry.

Mr. Lieberman oversees the print magazine and its several web properties and manages the overall business of the magazine's parent company, Political World Communications, LLC. During his tenure, the magazine and its suite of products have grown faster than any time in its 27-year history. 

Prior to serving as Publisher, Lieberman consulted on numerous campaigns and advocacy programs in the United States and abroad. In 2004 Lieberman split his public affairs and political consulting businesses, and formed Campaign Impact Services, LLC.
