About the 2020 PLUS Conference

2020 has been a year like no other in modern history. The way we do business has changed, the way we interact with others has changed, the way we behave has changed and there are many other unknown changes ahead. This year, in the 2020 PLUS Conference, we are taking a look at how we navigate this new normal.

In fact, that is the theme this year – Navigating the New Normal. The content that our committees, speakers and other volunteers have developed falls into one of these three main areas – Insuring Innovation, The Impact to Business and Changes to the Workplace and Society.

Join us for this first-ever virtual PLUS Conference. Our virtual platform will be a new way for you to interact with the professional liability insurance industry.

Here's What to Expect

Although we may not be able to meet in person this fall, you will still receive the exceptional experience you’ve come to expect from PLUS.
We are excited that a virtual experience can bring us all together in totally new ways.

Sessions & Education

Our new virtual agenda will focus on much of the history-altering events of 2020 and how things have changed for professional liability insurance. The agenda will include CE eligible sessions, panel sessions, CEO discussions and hot topic mini-sessions over the three days. Your attendance is completely customizable to fit your interests!

Networking

Connect virtually with your peers across the greater community of professional liability, from the comfort of your own space. You’ll be able to bring your insights into group chats within sessions, or take it private with individual attendee-to-attendee chatting. After a year that has created so much space, it’s our mission to offer a creative, collaborative and personalized networking experience for all.

Virtual Experience

This year will be unlike any other PLUS Conference you’ve ever seen. We’re leveraging technology to bring us together across the globe. Everything you’ll need will be on one platform. Your own personal login will give you access to all speakers, sponsor booths, chatting functions, CE and supporting documents in one location. You’ll be able to easily switch between sessions to maximize your experience. Plus, you don’t have to travel to get there!
