BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Entrepreneurial Insurance Symposium draws 400 to Dallas

DALLAS — The sixth annual Entrepreneurial Insurance Symposium drew nearly 400 people to Dallas last week.

The two-day event, launched in 2007 by Dallas-based electronic insurance exchange MarketScout to profile innovation in the insurance industry, featured presentations by 14 industry leaders.

It also included the “shark tank,” where members of the Entrepreneurial Insurance Alliance chose six finalists from more than 100 applicants to participate in the event.

Presenters had 10 minutes to demonstrate their innovations in the fields of insurance underwriting, distribution or technology before facing an additional five minutes of questioning from a panel of expert judges. Winners had not been announced by press time.

Next year's symposium is slated to take place Sept. 10-11, 2013.
