The Delaware Valley Property & Liability Trust (DVPLT) is hosting its 2025 Educational Conference with the theme “A Brave New World: Navigating the Evolving Landscape of Municipal Property & Liability Risks”. The conference will take place from Wednesday, June 18 to Friday, June 20 at Skytop Lodge in Skytop, PA. The event will feature dynamic and interactive workshops focused on emerging trends in property and liability coverage, including cybersecurity, navigating police liability with modern technology, handling PR nightmares, and what makes or breaks a claim in litigation. The keynote speaker, Daniel Linskey, will share his compelling story about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and the challenges of navigating leadership roles before, during, and after the crisis.
The conference is an opportunity for attendees to learn, share, and network. It also provides a platform for members to give feedback on how DVPLT can benefit the membership and their public entities 1. Educational conferences are scheduled once every three years, and the Trust covers the cost of hotel reservations, Trust-sponsored meals, and outings. Attendees will have the option to participate in a golf outing or “Amazing Race” on Wednesday, June 18, prior to the opening reception. The Amazing Race involves small teams completing fun mental and physical challenges throughout the Skytop grounds.
The conference will include sessions on crisis prevention, strategically communicating bad news, and turning good news into bad news. The focus will be on public relations and media management, with most attendees being Township Managers, Assistant Township Managers, and Human Resource Directors. Overall, the conference aims to educate members on property and liability insurance, provide networking opportunities, and offer insights into leadership and risk management.
