Time is ticking for those looking to secure early bird tickets to the upcoming Insurance News conference.

Our early bird offer expires at the end of this week for the event in Sydney on March 19, which features a packed day of insights from an impressive line-up of speakers.

Attendees will receive an exclusive printed copy of our INFORM report, compiled with experts at Finity. The report provides a detailed analysis of rates, capacity and profitability across commercial and personal lines, plus a series of in-depth features addressing issues including the rational/irrational soft market, the psychological claims crisis, and cyber risks and myths. 

Finity’s statistics and expert viewpoints will be complemented by Insurance News articles focused on industry leaders’ insights, and the report findings will be presented during the first session of the day.

Other highlights include a speech by Insurance Council of Australia chief executive Andrew Hall on the main challenges facing our industry, plus panel sessions on the future of broking, evolution of claims, smarter cyber decisions and AI.

There is also a session on wellbeing in the workplace, plus our annual CEO panel, which includes AUB CEO Mike Emmett, AIG Australia CEO Kathleen Warden, Allianz chief GM of commercial and personal injury Julie Mitchell, and Aon Australia CEO Kevan Johnston.

The event is backed by gold partners QBE and Tata Consultancy Services, and sponsors Entsia, AAMC and Australia Underwriting. Attendees are eligible for eight ANZIIF CIP points and six NIBA CPD points.

For the first time, a breakfast briefing will also be held on March 25 in Melbourne, where participants will be given a copy of the INFORM report and hear a recap of the conference’s key sessions. This event is supported by Finity, Xceedance and Australia Underwriting.
