History
The event is produced by the Property & Liability Resource Bureau (PLRB). PLRB's origins trace back to the mid-20th century, when it was initially formed as two separate entities—the Property Loss Research Bureau (PLRB) and the Liability Insurance Research Bureau (LIRB)—to address common problems insurers faced in adjusting claims and understanding emerging loss exposures. As the industry evolved, the two branches merged in 1997 into a single organization under the unified name Property & Liability Resource Bureau, reflecting a broader mission embracing both property and casualty lines.
Today PLRB is a not-for-profit national trade association supporting the property and casualty insurance industry with legal resources, educational services, and research, and its industry-leading conferences are a core part of that mission. The Claims Conference rotates among major U.S. cities; recent editions include Indianapolis in 2025, with the 2027 edition returning to San Antonio.
