Events
A great deal of this profession happens in hotel conference rooms. The umpire you will agree to next spring, the engineer whose report you will read, the adjuster who has already argued the position you are about to take. They are all at these. Dates move every year, so what is listed here is the pattern each event recurs on and a link to the organiser for the real date.
General education, not advice
These events are run by independent organisations we are not affiliated with, and listing one is not a recommendation. Dates, venues, formats and prices change constantly and some events are cancelled or renamed. Treat everything below as a pointer and confirm on the organiser's own site before booking travel or paying anything.
