Educational Sessions
| Coping Mechanisms: ERISA Best Practices - EMP102 | |
| Wednesday, 10:45 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. | |
| Learn how to best to protect directors and officers in the event of plan-related litigation in this critical era of new litigation theories, legislation and aggressive enforcement. Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) litigation has spiked in the last year, spurred by plan investment losses, mass layoffs, benefit cutbacks and an invigorated plaintiff’s bar. New types of litigation, such as suits related to qualified default investments in 401(k) plans, are on the upswing. At the same time, leadership at the Department of Labor is spurring new enforcement strategies. Join this panel discussion of methods to avoid litigation and establish a record of procedural prudence, a critically important component in the defense of any ERISA litigation. | |

Managing Catastrophic Claims in Unprecedented Times - CLM101 | |
| Wednesday, 3:15 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. | |
| After a year of record-breaking losses—the trillion-dollar market cap losses, the Madoff scandal, “bet the company” claims and food-borne illnesses—make sure you are prepared to effectively manage a catastrophic claim before, during and after it occurs. Join this panel to analyze the strategies you can employ when dealing with major losses, the importance of communicating with your claims handler prior to a loss, steps to avoid during the process, time-sensitive details to address at the time of a claim (such as controlling the media) and managing counsel throughout the process. Bring back to your organization the ability to manage internal expectations throughout the claims process. | |

| Crisis Management: Considerations for Transferring, Reducing and Accepting Risks Related to Crisis Events (SPC-C) | |
| Tuesday, April 27, 2:15 p.m. - 3:45 p.m. | |
| Location: Boston Convention Center, Room 259A | |
| While rarely publicized, crisis events such as kidnap for ransom, extortion, wrongful detention and disappearance are ever-increasing threats to multinational companies, organizations and individuals traveling around the world. High-profile companies and organizations that operate in high-threat areas are often targets, creating security and operational risk to both personnel and the corporation as a whole.
Chartis, in conjunction with Willis-SRC and Clayton Consultants, a Triple Canopy Company, invite you to learn more about how these crisis events, occuring around the world in both publicized and unknown hot spots, can be mitigated through crisis management strategies. Topics to be discussed during the session include the benefits of insurance coverage that provides essential consultant, medical and emergency travel assistance services; the impact of recent global events such as the earthquake in Haiti and the political situation in Venezuela on the security risk management of multinational companies; and how a company can ensure employees will have the resources available to be trained and well-versed to handle dangerous situations while overseas. | |
