Join leading insurance coverage practitioners, claims professionals, and counsel at the 2026 Insurance Coverage and Practice Symposium, hosted by DRI's Insurance Law Committee in New York City. Over two and a half days, attendees will examine key developments shaping insurance litigation and coverage practice. Sessions will cover insurers' role in promoting safety and stability, strategies for trying bad faith cases, and the challenges posed by AI-powered claimants using generative tools in litigation. Other topics include emerging coverage issues in social media, influencer marketing, digital platforms, rideshare, autonomous vehicles, and mobility trends; how artificial intelligence is reshaping risk transfer, indemnity, and contractual risk allocation; ethical obligations within the tripartite relationship; defenses to collusive judgments and manufactured liability; and recent developments in first-party property coverage. Attendees will leave with practical, actionable insights and expanded professional connections through networking events and committee activities.
