Insurance Leaders Gain Cutting-Edge Skills at CPCU Society’s In2Leadership Training in Atlanta

Leadership development is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’ in the insurance industry—it’s a necessity. As technology reshapes business models and customer expectations continue to evolve, insurance professionals must build leadership skills that address digital disruption, remote collaboration, and organizational change. However, many companies still prioritize technical training over leadership education. That’s where the CPCU Society’s In2Leadership event steps in, offering focused, industry-specific leadership development backed by academic excellence.

Held in Atlanta, Georgia, this year’s In2Leadership event brought together over 200 professionals from across the insurance value chain. In partnership with the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business, the CPCU Society provided a robust, two-day executive education experience. Courses led by university faculty tackled today’s most pressing business topics, including inclusive culture-building, change management, data strategy, and the role of AI in leadership. The opening panel explored how the intersection of talent and technology is transforming the insurance workforce, while Triple-I’s Dale Porfilio closed the event with insights on managing emerging risks.

Participants chose from four intensive sessions, including ‘Technology Strategies: Leveraging the Power of Data, AI and Other Digital Tools,’ which took a human-centered approach to digital transformation. Professor Jerry Kane emphasized that the real challenge isn’t the tech—it’s building the leadership, culture, and organizational structures that can make it work. Other popular sessions included discussions on diversity in the marketplace and leading change in dynamic environments.

Open to all insurance professionals—not just CPCU designees—In2Leadership fostered valuable networking alongside learning. Attendees left energized, equipped with both new skills and connections. As interest in leadership education grows across the industry, events like In2Leadership show the path forward by blending academic rigor with practical application tailored to insurance.
