NASBP is putting the final touches on the 2025 Fall Meetings, with the NASBP West Meeting to be held at the Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City, Salt Lake City, UT, September 10-12, and the NASBP East Meeting to be held at the JW Marriott Charlotte, Charlotte, NC, October 15 – 17.

For this year’s Fall Meetings, we are excited to debut multiple format changes to maximize networking opportunities, to incentivize greater producer agent participation, and to add industry-focused content. We are especially excited about a new format feature, “Roundtable Discussion Events,” which will be held at the West Meeting on Wednesday afternoon prior to the Welcome Reception and the East Meeting on Friday morning following the Keynote Breakfast Session. Both meetings also include an optional event on Thursday afternoon to give attendees more networking opportunities. Another new feature of both NASBP Fall Meetings feature a Friday morning sit-down breakfast and a can’t miss keynote session focused on the political and economic environment, including its many uncertainties.

The NASBP West Meeting General Session will kick off Thursday with opening remarks from NASBP President Robert Coon and two presentations on timely topics for surety professionals. Learn about the use of AI for content strategy and lead generation from Andy Crestodina of Orbit Media Studios, Inc., and get a behind-the-scenes look at the unique Salt Lake Temple Renovation Project from presenters Georges A. Bonnet, Director of Communications with the Project and Joshua Fenn, Project Executive with Jacobsen Construction. Friday’s Keynote Breakfast Session will cover the rapidly changing arena of government contracting in “Contracting in the Age of Trump,” presented by James F. Nagle of NASBP Attorney Advisory Council firm Smith Currie Oles LLP.

The NASBP East Meeting will include a welcome from NASBP President Robert Coon and an important presentation from Gregory Horne and Kristen Weber, both of NASBP Affiliate Liberty Mutual Surety, where they will compare surety bonds with subcontractor default insurance and other performance risk mitigation tools. Friday’s Keynote Breakfast Session will be presented by Chris Lafakis of Moody’s Analytics. He will offer an economic outlook and review factors that could pull the U.S. into a recession in his presentation, “Weathering the Storm: A Discussion of the Economic Outlook and Key Risks.”
