The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) announced its fall 2026 schedule for Wednesdays with Woodward, a virtual series hosted by Joan Woodward, President of the Travelers Institute.
The program convenes economists, former government officials, and industry experts to examine issues at the intersection of insurance, business, and public policy. Since its launch, the series has reached tens of thousands of leaders across the United States.
