The 2026 Crittenden Medical Liability Conference is scheduled for April 15–17, at the Hyatt Regency Savannah in Savannah, Georgia, offering more than 20 hours of educational programming on emerging medical professional liability issues, with continuing education (CE) and continuing legal education (CLE) credits available in select states.”
The leading annual conference for medical liability professionals brings together underwriters, claims professionals, attorneys, risk managers and health care executives to explore trends and practical strategies shaping the medical liability landscape. A full agenda of sessions is available online.
The three-day agenda addresses themes in three tracks — Claims/Legal, Risk and Underwriting — including malpractice trends, patient safety, artificial intelligence in health care, emerging exposures in care delivery and evolving claims and underwriting strategies. Sessions are led by experienced practitioners and industry leaders from across insurance, legal and clinical fields. Topics are framed to provide practical insights attendees can apply in their organizations.
A few highlighted sessions on the agenda include:
- “Don’t lose big insuring weight loss: The insurance implications of increased GLP-1 use.” A focused discussion on the risk and claims implications of GLP-1 medication use in broader patient populations.
- “The risk manager’s blind spot: Clinical exposures that undermine coverage.” A panel focused on unseen clinical risk exposures and steps risk managers can take to shore up coverage.
- “Bad faith and medical liability: Avoiding large verdict pitfalls.” Claims and legal leaders will examine how rising nuclear verdicts are affecting settlement decisions and bad faith exposure in medical malpractice.
- “Virtual care, real risk: The evolving underwriter’s view of telemedicine.” Underwriters and risk experts discuss how telemedicine is changing liability risk and underwriting practices.
- “Politics and public policy: Critical healthcare updates.” An overview of policy and regulatory changes likely to affect healthcare operations and liability in the year ahead.
In addition to educational sessions, the conference offers multiple networking events, allowing attendees to build professional connections and share best practices with peers.
