In 1998, shortly after the Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor became operational, the insurance industry through two of it's trade groups, The Insurance Council of New Jersey (ICNJ) and the New Jersey Special Investigators Association (NJSIA), organized the first annual New Jersey Insurance Fraud Summit in conjunction with the NJSIA's annual training seminar.
For the next five years, this annual summit occurred in conjunction with the NJSIA seminar late in the month of October. Beginning in 2003, in support of efforts to have the month of October proclaimed Insurance Fraud Awareness Month by the New Jersey State Legislature, it was decided to separate the Annual Insurance Fraud Summit from the NJSIA's Annual Seminar and establish it as a standalone event. From 2003 until 2008, the Annual Insurance Fraud Summit was held at the Trenton War Memorial.
Beginning in October 2009 the ICNJ and NJSIA, as a cost savings measure, decided to return to the original format with the Annual Summit taking place in conjunction with the NJSIA Annual Training Seminar.
Participation in the Summit is by invitation only. Invitations are scheduled to be sent to invitees by mid-September 2026.
The Summit will take place on Monday, October 19, 2026 and will conclude prior to the NJSIA Annual Seminar's Welcome Reception.
