For over a decade, the Katie School has conducted industry programs. The three most longstanding programs are the Insurance Executive Forum, held each year in Chicago, the London Market Study Tour Program and the Katie School Golf Classic.
The Insurance Executive Forum is held at the Union League Club in Chicago each fall and attracts over 250 industry leaders. A panel of senior insurance company executives and risk managers discusses industry market trends, organizational practices leading to profitability, and upcoming challenges facing the industry.
Each July the Katie School delivers a one-week program to emerging leaders from the Lloyd's of London insurance market . The program, held partly in Chicago and partly on campus, is taught by a combination of industry presenters and Illinois State University faculty.
The Katie School Golf Classic event helps support scholarships and program enhancements, while providing insurance professionals the opportunity to meet over an engaging game of golf.
The Executive on Campus program brings senior leaders to campus to meet with students to discuss issues that today's management teams address on a long and short term basis.
The annual Katie School Symposium matches industry presenters with academic researchers on specific topics that attracts an interactive audience each year.
