And that's a wrap on the 2026 Property Insurance Claims Group Conference and Claims Academy! 🌀🧑🎓
This year's conference theme explored some of the major global catastrophes from the last 20+ years, including September 11, Hurricane Katrina, the wildfires and floods across Canada and Australia, and the 2011 Japanese tsunami.
By examining these experiences as lessons, attendees learned to improve future catastrophe response.
"Some people forget that Hurricane Katrina came through Florida as a Cat 1 storm," said Ampcus Forensics Vice President Grant Mizel. "It was the first major storm that I remember living through as a kid in Miami, and it was scary. Now years later, I can see how impactful that experience must have been for Forensic Accountants just cutting their teeth, working on the losses associated with that storm.
"And while it's not always productive to dwell on the past, hearing those types of stories this week, there are real nuggets of wisdom and insight that we must take with us to be better at serving our clients. It could be small, basic things we might overlook in the moment like open communication or bigger, task-oriented things like leveraging the latest technology - all of it is important to maintaining a collaborative mindset with our clients and partners whenever possible."
