2026 IWLA 3PL Warehouse Executive Forum: Legal, Insurance, & Risk

Running a 3PL warehouse means managing more than day-to-day operations. Contracts, liability, insurance coverage, claims, employment law, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies can all create risks that have a direct impact on your business.

The 2026 IWLA 3PL Warehouse Executive Forum: Legal, Insurance, & Risk brings together experienced legal, insurance, and industry professionals to tackle the issues that matter most to warehouse operators and the people responsible for managing risk.

You’ll get practical insights into the contracts you negotiate, the risks you face, the claims and coverage issues that can affect your business, and the legal and regulatory developments shaping the 3PL industry. Sessions will explore everything from key provisions in warehouse contracts and liability limits to insurance coverage, employment law, AI, cybersecurity, and the latest legal challenges affecting warehouse operations.

This event brings together 3PL executives, warehouse leaders, operations professionals, risk managers, insurance professionals, attorneys, legal counsel, and anyone involved in contracts, claims, compliance, or business risk. Attendees will gain practical insights and strategies to help protect their businesses, strengthen operations, manage risk, and navigate the legal challenges facing today’s 3PL industry. MCLE credit will be available for eligible attorneys.

Come prepared to learn, ask questions, and leave with practical insights you can use to better protect your operation, manage risk, and make smarter decisions for your business.
