The Florida Chamber of Commerce’s 2017 Insurance Summit is set to kick off today with a long list of presentations and panels, including a report from Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis on how the Sunshine State is “rising to the challenges it faces.”

The two-day event, to be held at the Orlando Ritz Carlton, will include discussions among Florida’s top insurance experts addressing nearly every aspect of the Florida insurance industry.

Thursday events include a panel discussion on assignment of benefits, an update on Florida’s Hurricane Catastrophe Fund from State Board of Administration Executive Director Ash Williams and a presentation from Florida Office of Insurance Regulation Commissioner David Altmaier on key trends in the state’s insurance markets.

The Friday schedule includes a briefing from former Florida Division of Emergency Management head Bryan Koon on the state’s response to Hurricane Irma, and a panel discussion on the future of Florida’s workers’ comp system.
