The Aircraft Builders Council conducts a conference each year, which is an informational forum on the most recent developments in the aviation and aerospace industry and products liability. This annual conference is unique in that it brings together insureds, potential insureds, lead underwriters, brokers and defense counsel, all at one locale.

Presentations are given on subjects of current interest, including insurance, law, governmental activity, and aviation and aerospace technology. In the past, speakers have included the Chairman of Lloyd's, Administrators of the FAA, NASA Astronauts, United States District Court Judges, United States Legislators, as well as experts in the aerospace industry.

An important feature of this conference includes the presentations made by the program's lead underwriters, who also participate in a panel discussion, and are available for private consultations with insureds and potential insureds, together with their brokers.

If you have questions regarding the annual conference, please e-mail conference coordinator Gretchen Huetteman.
