The Lodge @ Gulf State Park
October 8 - October 11
SITA's 2019 conference provides a forum for state trade association executives to exchange information, ideas, best practices, and trends affecting auto, home, and business insurers in every state.
The Lodge @ Gulf State Park The Lodge at Gulf State Park is an ideal setting and a model of resilient, environmentally-friendly coastal development where connectivity to the outdoors is a central focus. An active lifestyle, access to nature and environmental restoration all play a large part in the character of The Lodge experience. Gulf State Park stands out from other Gulf Coast destinations because of its size and the diversity of its preserved ecosystems; there’s simply nowhere else like it on the Gulf Coast.
Before and after the day’s official events, enjoy the several outdoor gathering areas, the dining and reception areas, a Gulf view Lobby Porch, a Gulf front infinity pool (complete with terrace seating, pool bar and grille), a two-level Gulf front restaurant and bar with outdoor terrace seating, or the Coffee & Wine Bar & Porch.
Or, indulge in the 6,150 acres of pristine coastal scenery and wildlife habitat of The Lodge at Gulf State Park which has won international acclaim for demonstrating best practices.

Risk-Based Pricing In Personal Lines Insurance
Dr. Lars Powell, Director, Alabama Center for Insurance Information & Research
Elements of the current political climate seek a naïve notion of "fairness" above all other considerations in insurance pricing. In addition to the perennial state-level battles over objective insurance rating factors, the 118th Congress is displaying renewed interest in banning the most accurate rating variables currently in use. This session will discuss results from a deep dive into the data analysis and intuitive reasoning that support using legal - but sometimes controversial - variables to price auto and homeowners insurance coverage. Discussion will include behavioral and psychological reasons why occupation, education, and credit factors are correlated with insured losses.
