Ben Goodall, CEO of PSC, will join a panel of leading brokers discussing the future of SME and mid-market insurance distribution, and how it will evolve over the next 10 years.

Aon Australia CEO Kevan Johnston will be on a panel with other leaders discussing key issues and opportunities facing the industry.

Kira Pellicano, head of commercial claims at Vero, and a panel of experts will examine trends in claims, especially in relation to technology.
