OSC and Tellum Advisory are excited to sponsor MBA’s CRE Insurance Conclave 2026, taking place October 4–6 in Chicago, Illinois!

Representing OSC at this year’s event will be Vernon Southerland, SVP of Business Development. Joe Posavec, EVP of Tellum, will join Vernon at the conclave. If you are attending and would like to set up a meeting, please reach out to Vernon or Joe directly.

In addition, Joe will participate as a panelist on Tuesday, October 6, for the “Catastrophic Coverage: Beyond the Requirements” session.

The discussion will look beyond standard requirements to examine how catastrophic coverages – including flood, earthquake, and named storm – are performing in today’s market. Panelists will also explore capacity, pricing, and tracking trends, along with NFIP and TRIA developments and best practices.

Hosted by the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), the CRE Insurance Conclave brings together professionals working across commercial real estate finance, insurance, and risk management. The event provides an opportunity to discuss current insurance market trends, emerging risks, and other issues affecting the industry.

We look forward to connecting with fellow industry professionals and supporting another valuable opportunity for education, collaboration, and networking!
