About the Current Issues Forum
The Current Issues Forum explores issues that influence and drive the reinsurance business and its ability to compete and be financially robust. This year's program features respected industry leaders and political and economic observers who share their unique insight and perspective on prevailing political, economic and market dynamics. Industry professionals won't want to miss the Forum.
The Current Issues program includes:
- Inflation and inflation volatility, hyper-competitive pricing and loss reserve development are significant concerns for property-casualty insurers. Stephan Christiansen, Director of Research, Conning Research and Consulting, addresses the 2010-2012 P&C Insurance and Reinsurance Outlook.

- Political Point-Counterpoint with Mary Kate Cary, Contributing Editor, U.S. News and World Report, and Robert Schlesinger, Opinion Editor, U.S. News and World Report. Two leading voices in the new, fast-paced online opinion wars that are redefining and reshaping our national debate face off for a debate on the current contentious political landscape.
