AEGIS 2022 Policyholders’ Conference in Denver

Our thanks to all of you who joined us for the AEGIS 2022 Policyholders’ Conference in Denver, the first time we have met in person since 2019. More than 1,000 members, brokers and guests attended, which was one of the highest levels in the past 10 years. We were also pleased that 87% of members and brokers rated the conference as “outstanding” or “exceeded expectations,” which is one of the highest scores in the history of the event. 

Many of the general session and breakout session presentations are posted on our website and the conference app, including Sean Kevelighan's report on economic and insurance market conditions, industry updates, current D&O topics and the highly rated breakout session, Contractual Risk. Videos from the conference, whose theme was how AEGIS is Built for you, as well as conference photos are posted on the website.
