The "Insuring the Future" event is a merger of two significant annual gatherings: the Connecticut Conference on Climate Change and Insurance (C4I), hosted by CID, and the Insurance Capital Summit (ICS), hosted by CT IFS. This collaboration is designed to foster discussions and generate actionable insights on how the insurance industry can address the growing challenges posed by climate change and the need for innovation in risk management.

About the Connecticut Conference on Climate Change and Insurance (C4I): The C4I has been a platform for environmental and insurance experts, policymakers, and leaders to exchange ideas on combating climate change and enhancing resilience through insurance solutions. This year, the integration with ICS will broaden the scope of discussions to include not only climate-related risks but also the future of insurance innovation.

"Through 'Insuring the Future,' we are committed to advancing the dialogue on climate risks and helping to protect consumers by driving innovation in the insurance industry," said Commissioner Andrew Mais of the Connecticut Insurance Department. "This event is a testament to our dedication to creating a more resilient future through collaboration and forward-thinking solutions."

About the Insurance Capital Summit (ICS): The ICS has traditionally been a gathering point for over 350 insurance professionals, innovators, and leaders in Hartford, the Insurance Capital of the World. This year's event will provide a unique opportunity for attendees to engage with thought leaders and explore new approaches to risk management and insurance innovation.

"The leading minds in climate sustainability and resiliency work daily in insurance and regulation to provide solutions for a better future for all of us", said Susan Winkler, Executive Director, Connecticut Insurance & Financial Services. "Driving innovation and change are the hundreds of risk managers, actuaries, underwriters, and data scientists that work in the Insurance Capital. We are pleased to share those perspectives with you from the "Insuring the Future" event in Hartford, the global center of insurance."

Tickets for Insuring the Future are still available. Join us for this unique opportunity to engage with leaders and innovators at the forefront of climate and insurance.
