This week I was in New York for the 2025 PLUS D&O Symposium, along with a thousand or so other professionals from around the D&O insurance community. The Symposium took place at the Marriott Marquis hotel in Times Square, the bright, beating heart of NYC. No matter how many times you visit, there is still something special about being in New York. The conference was great as well, a great chance to catch up on the latest news and developments, to meet with my many friends in the industry, and to make some new friends, as well.Continue Reading PLUS D&O Symposium 2025
This past week, The D&O Diary was on assignment in Chicago to attend the 2024 PLUS Conference. Hard to believe, but this year’s version was the 37th installment in the annual series. It was as well-attended and well-organized as always. The event was held at the Sheraton Grand Hotel Riverwalk, right on the Chicago River. Chicago is one of my favorite places to visit and it was great to be back again. It was also great to see so many old friends and to make some new friends as well, as reflected in the pictures below.

The D&O Diary was on assignment last week in Napa Valley in California. Although I have visited Napa several times in the past, it has been a while since I have been there. I had forgotten what a beautiful place it is and how much fun it is to visit.
My primary purpose
The D&O Diary was in Chicago for a brief visit this past week. Chicago is a great place to visit anytime of the year, but the month of May might be just about the optimal time to visit. On the day of my arrival at least, the weather was just about perfect. The purpose of my visit to Chicago was to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting of the American College of Coverage Counsel.

The D&O Diary was on the road again this week, albeit this time for domestic travels only. The main event this week was a stop in Nashville to attend Arch Insurance’s Executive Assurance Division’s 2024 Offsite Meeting. At least by contrast to some of my recent international travel, this was a quick trip; because it was such a quick trip, I didn’t get a chance to see much of Nashville itself, but the trip was still a lot of fun.Continue Reading Nashville
In a long-standing tradition, I have each July reprised on this site an essay I wrote several years ago about summertime at our lake house in Pentwater, Michigan. Actually, the tradition was that I re-posted the article over the July 4th weekend. This year, I was completely preoccupied during the July 4th holiday
