"Seven Steps to Resilience: ERM for Insurers," a presentation by David Ingram of Willis Re, will inform and enlighten attendees about how to avoid "death by undue caution," and later, executives from PwC will engage the audience in a discussion about what the future may hold for the insurance industry.
