Please join us for Gen Re's 2025 Executive Forum!

This exclusive gathering of executives from Gen Re's key customers is designed to share valuable insights from insurance industry and financial services thought leaders about the forces shaping the insurance business.

Our Executive Forum provides a unique, intimate setting to interact with industry peers, Gen Re senior management and guest speakers during one and a half days of business sessions.

As always, our goal is to present speakers and topics that will help you successfully manage and grow your business. We have an exciting lineup of speakers this year, including Neil Alldredge (NAMIC), Bob Hartwig (University of South Carolina), Kevin Brown (Keynote Speaker), Andrea Keenan (A.M. Best), Bill Rotatori (NEAM), and Kara Raiguel (Gen Re).

Gen Re will assume the cost of ground transportation from Southwest Florida International Airport in Ft. Myers (RSW) to the hotel, all group meals during the conference and, for anyone interested, our Wednesday afternoon activities. We respectfully ask that you assume the cost of your air travel, guest room at the JW Marriott and any incidentals you incur during your stay. If you are staying on Wednesday night, you are welcome to join us for dinner.

Our 2025 Executive Forum will be filled with valuable content that you do not want to miss! We will continue to update this website with more details. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact one of our event coordinators: Tammy Fitzgerald at tafitzg@genre.com  or Tonya Batty at tonya.batty@genre.com.

We hope to see you in January!
