Driving While Intexticated: Trends in Auto Safety & Insurance
Speaker:	Paul Farrell CEO SafetyFirst Systems The consequences of auto collisions are tragic and widespread. New technology, safety strategies, regulations and insurance methods struggle to gain a lead over the crash statistics that are reported each year. In 2008, there were 37,261 deaths on the road. While this represents a substantial decrease in fatalities, the overall number of crashes had only decreased by less than 2% from the prior year. Teens, Seniors, Truckers, Aggressive Drivers, Drowsy Drivers and Drunk or Drugged Drivers share the highway each day. Mr. Farrell will examine the major issues and ways that insurers are attempting to deal with these issues in both Personal and Commercial Lines.
Where There's Fire...is There a Fire Station?
Speaker:	Mike Waters Vice President ISO Risk Decision Services Mr. Waters will review the challenges faced by the nation’s fire service in providing effective fire protection. As many municipal budgets are cut, fire department staffing is reduced, and community infrastructure investment is delayed, what impact does this have on the insurance industry? Mr. Waters will share how current issues facing fire departments affect insurance underwriting and property risk.

Luncheon Speaker:	Insurance Meets the World of Social Media Katie Herbst Sr. Marketing Communications Specialist Westfield Insurance Social media has changed the world in which we do business. Insurance agents and carriers are well positioned to benefit from the rise in social networking and online communities because our business is rooted in relationships. And when it comes to social media, it has less to do with technology and everything to do with relationships. Ms. Herbst will share her perspectives on how the insurance industry can leverage an online presence.
