The insurance industry proved itself to be resilient during the global financial crisis, but it still faces very real challenges.
These challenges include macro-economic uncertainty, low investment returns, a wealth of new regulation, greater longevity and more extreme weather conditions. The conference will debate the way insurers are rethinking their business to tackle them.
