VERTEX is a Silver Sponsor of the 6th Annual SEIP Conference, hosted by the Society of Environmental Insurance Professionals (SEIP) and taking place June 25–27, 2025, at the Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora, Colorado. This event brings together hundreds of environmental insurance leaders—from underwriters and claims professionals to brokers, attorneys, and consultants—to address emerging environmental risks, regulatory developments, and innovative strategies for underwriting and claims resolution.
Themed “Navigating Our Resilience,” SEIP 2025 focuses on how environmental insurance plays a critical role in strengthening society’s ability to recover from and respond to environmental loss events. The conference features three days of educational panels, technical breakouts, and networking opportunities designed to elevate collaboration and knowledge across the sector.
