About
Over the last nine years, more than 750 EPL professionals have gathered for discussion and comprehensive analysis of legal developments at American Conference Institute's premier events. With the significant developments over the past 12 months, this year's 10th Annual Employment Practices Litigation Insurance conference promises to be especially important. Key decisions of various courts from across the United States will have wide-ranging implications for workplace litigation.

Now, more than ever, insurance professionals and attorneys need to be up-to-date on the latest EPL developments.
With an outstanding panel of the top insurance industry executives, in-house counsel, judges, leading employment attorneys, EEOC representatives and human resources professionals, this publication will provide you with invaluable information and insights.
