More competition in the public D&O marketplace has resulted in reduced premiums for many companies, a welcome change from previous years. In addition, the trend of increasing self-insured retentions has slowed, and there are opportunities to lower retentions for the first time in several years.
Our 2023 Looking Ahead Guide and Webinar will help you anticipate and prepare for your next D&O insurance renewal. Get exclusive information from our experts to help optimize your D&O risk management strategy with insights ranging from insurance carrier expectations to hot topics in corporate governance—the fire sprinklers of D&O risk.

THE VIRTUAL BRIEFING
Directors & officers know that preparing for 2026 includes understanding what to expect from the economy and capital markets. Join us on Wednesday, December 10, as Woodruff Sawyer pairs up with Nasdaq to clarify the economic issues that are critical to pre-IPO and public companies.
Phil Mackintosh, Nasdaq's chief economist, will reflect on what was predicted for 2025—as well as what actually happened, especially when it comes to interest rates and tariffs. He’ll then shift to what we can expect in 2026, including a discussion of a gamut of economic indicators companies use to budget and forecast, including GDP, unemployment, and expectations for consumer confidence.
Jack Cassel, Nasdaq’s Head of Listings, Western US, will unpack what happened with IPO volume in 2025 and what he expects in 2026. He’ll also discuss the resurgence of SPAC IPOs and what this means for companies looking to join the public capital markets.
