October 8, 2025

Vertex is proud to announce its participation in the 2025 National Bond Claims Association (NBCA) Conference, taking place October 8–10, 2025, at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California.

This annual conference brings together leaders from across the fidelity and surety bond industry to exchange insights, strengthen professional relationships, and explore best practices in claims handling, underwriting, and dispute resolution.
