Whether you’re considering selling critical illness products or are beginning to explore the details of the industry, this is the one conference you must attend!  Leading the industry, the 2008 Critical Illness Conference, sponsored by LIMRA, LOMA, Society of Actuaries and the National Association for Critical Illness Insurance, will provide the cutting edge information you need to understand the challenges and opportunities this market presents.  Increase your ability to analyze problems and strategies related to critical illness insurance, learn creative solutions to those problems, and understand how to communicate those solutions to your company and your customers.

The U.S. market is beginning to appreciate that the power of Critical Illness Insurance (CII) extends beyond countries with single-payer systems.  By and large, current U.S. employer-based health care coverage does not alleviate the financial burden of a critical illness.  In fact, the financial strain of expenses not covered by medical insurance can be crushing.  CII bridges the gap in coverage and can even enable ordinary citizens who need it to have access to the finest medical attention in the world.

For CII to gain widespread acceptance in the United States, both consumers and producers must recognize its value.  The Critical Illness Insurance Conference provides an essential understanding of all the central issues:

• Plan design
• Pricing and underwriting considerations
• Regulatory requirements
• Claims experience
• Global trends
• Selling secrets/marketing insights
• Marketing issues
• Risk management methods

General sessions will make a powerful case for CII.  Concurrent sessions will allow marketing, actuarial, underwriting, management and operations professionals to explore aspects of the product that are most relevant to their interests.
