Who attends
WIND is the single most important neutral-ground conference in property/windstorm claims: 1,000+ attendees split roughly evenly between policyholder representatives (public adjusters, policyholder attorneys) and carrier/defense side, plus engineers, contractors and appraisers/umpires. Its Certified Appraiser and Certified Umpire programs draw the senior-most claim resolvers in the country. For a vendor selling PA software this is the highest-value national booth in the category.
