Why a Pricing & Innovation Summit?
Never in the long history of insurance have we seen innovation at the pace we are seeing today. Insurance companies are grappling with a proliferation of new distribution channels. They must compete and deliver value to customers that have unprecedented access to information. And they must adjust to new regulations and financial market realities that are more dynamic and volatile than ever before.
Who should attend the Summit?
This is an invitation-only event for senior insurance executives, with attendees including heads of business line, chief actuaries, heads of pricing / product, and other related positions from leading insurance companies worldwide.
What is the Summit programme?
The Summit programme is designed to provide attendees with the outmost experience, combining lectures from distinguished insurance innovators and an opportunity to socialise with industry peers during evening activities, including an interactive wine tasting with celebrity food & wine expert and TV host Jilly Goolden.
