About Extreme Risk Takers Symposium

This two-day event is designed to introduce students to the excess and surplus (E&S) lines insurance industry—a sector dedicated to finding innovative solutions for unique and challenging risks. Often referred to as the “safety valve” of the insurance market, the surplus lines sector provides tailored coverage for unique, hard-to-place, and high-capacity risks that standard insurers are unable to accommodate. This essential market ensures that businesses and individuals facing unconventional risks can access the coverage they need. Students will explore the surplus lines industry's critical role in covering emerging risks, introducing innovative products, and adapting to evolving market needs. Through engaging sessions, attendees will gain insight into the regulatory frameworks, underwriting processes, and career opportunities within this specialized field. The event will feature presentations from industry leaders, a career fair, networking opportunities, and discussions on cutting-edge topics and trends in the industry.
