WASHINGTON (May 6, 2026)

State Insurance Regulators Lead Global Conversation at 2026 NAIC International Insurance Forum

Each May, state and international insurance regulators, policy experts, and industry professionals gather in our nation’s capital for the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) International Insurance Forum.

Over a day and a half, this event features panel discussions led by state insurance regulators, focused chats, and presentations exploring not only the top issues on the minds of consumers and insurance sector leaders today but also the emerging stories shaping tomorrow’s conversations.

It’s an opportunity for attendees to connect, inform the collective dialogue through sharing their individual experiences, and gain new insights to help strengthen the global insurance marketplace.

In addition to spotlighted conversations and speeches, this year’s Forum, taking place May 7–8, features five panels:

  • Cyber Security and Operational Risk – Staying One Step Ahead 
  • Financial Literacy – Increasing Access in an Age of Connectivity
  • Health and Technology – Collecting Data, Reducing Risk
  • Regulation in the New Era of Finance
  • Addressing Natural Catastrophe Protection Gaps

About the National Association of Insurance Commissioners

As part of our state-based system of insurance regulation in the United States, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) provides expertise, data, and analysis for insurance commissioners to effectively regulate the industry and protect consumers. The U.S. standard-setting organization is governed by the chief insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. Through the NAIC, state insurance regulators establish standards and best practices, conduct peer reviews, and coordinate regulatory oversight. NAIC staff supports these efforts and represents the collective views of state regulators domestically and internationally.
