Conversations around builder’s risk insurance often sit at the intersection of construction complexity, evolving project delivery, and claims exposure, making collaboration across disciplines more important than ever.
On Thursday, May 14, 2026, the 2026 Builder’s Risk & Construction Symposium will convene in New York, NY, bringing together professionals from construction, brokerage, underwriting, claims, and the expert community for an in-depth discussion on insuring complex construction projects. Vertex is serving as a Silver Sponsor of the event.
