The D&O Diary’s European assignment continued this past week with a stop in London, the U.K.’s capital and largest city.

The D&O Diary was on assignment in Europe last week, with a first stop in Dublin for client meetings, followed by a long weekend visit to Paris. February is not the best time to visit Europe, as it can be cold and dark, and on this visit both cities were kind of damp, as well. But notwithstanding the generally gloomy and occasionallly wet weather, it was a great visit overall.Continue Reading Dublin and Paris
The D&O Diary was on assignment last week with a first stop in Napa Valley in California, followed by a weekend visit to Tucson, Arizona.

The D&O Diary was on assignment in Florida last week, with stops in both Orlando and Miami. It is always a pleasure to be in Florida, even though this time the Orlando leg of the trip was unusually cold.
The primary purpose of the Orlando visit was to attend the annual Professional Liability Underwriting Society (PLUS) Conference. As always, the Conference was well-organized and well-attended. It was a pleasure to see so many old friends and to make new friends as well. It was gratifying to learn how many of the new members of our industry follow The D&O Diary. It was also my honor to be able to participate as a panelist for one of the sessions, as reflected in the picture below. My congratulations to the PLUS staff for another excellent event.Continue Reading Orlando and Miami: PLUS Conference and LatAm Underwriters’ Meeting

The D&O Diary is on assignment in Asia this week, with a first stop in Mumbai, India’s financial capital. My stay in Mumbai was relatively short, just long enough to once again experience the city’s rich mixture of sights and sounds and sometimes almost overwhelming energy.Continue Reading Mumbai
The D&O Diary was on assignment in Europe this past week, with a final stop in the beautiful city of Amsterdam, which — with its canals, its streets of bicyclists, its 17th century façades — has its own unique and essential charm.Continue Reading Amsterdam
