ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
28 January 2020, London
Insider London is all about giving (re)insurance professionals everything they need to set them up for the rest of the year. The idea is that if you only had time to make it to one conference a year, an annual visit to Insider London would be sufficient to keep you abreast of all the key developments.
On 28 January 2020, this conference addressed the critical trends facing global (re)insurance professionals and examined what actions must be taken to successfully navigate the trials facing the global sector in 2020.
Industry heavyweights deciphered reinsurance outcomes at 1/1 and pointed out pitfalls ahead.
It was an ideal opportunity to make lots of new contacts in a high-quality setting in the heart of the insurance district, where delegates were able to formulate their growth plans for the year ahead before any of their competitors.
