2019 BIBA Conference holds in Manchester May 15 and 16
This year’s British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) Conference and Exhibition with the theme, “Leading the Way” is scheduled to hold on 15 and 16 May in Manchester Central, United Kingdom.
The theme, according to organizers, “reflects the state of change we are all operating under. By May 2019 the UK will have left – or will be transitioning away from Europe. The pace of technological advancement is likely to be showing no signs of slowing and above all brokers will continue to deal will changing customer needs and risk as well as evolving regulation and legislation.”
Referring to the theme of BIBA’s 2018 conference, “Innovate Evolve Thrive” organizers said it had a clear focus on innovation. “In 2019, we will continue showcasing the application of technology to lead the way in resolving common challenges identified by brokers,” they added.
The highly successful 2018 hackathon – innovation challenge, according to BIBA, saw eight teams vie to create broker solutions during an intense six hour timeframe, adding that plans are underway to develop another hackathon, broker focused challenge for conference 2019.
BIBA Chairman Lord Hunt of Wirral has announced that the BIBA 2019 conference and exhibition will be held at Manchester Central on Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 May.
Steve White, BIBA’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “This year has again been a fantastic event, thank you to all exhibitors, sponsors and delegates. I am looking forward to welcoming everyone back to Manchester next May for another two days of networking, learning and business development.”
“We were delighted with how the innovation theme went down with brokers, sponsors and exhibitors this year. We wanted a means of continuing that passion. Leading the Way draws on much of what BIBA does for our members. We promote insurance brokers as the leading way for customers to obtain professional advice. Our sector needs to take a lead in the application of insurTech. And we must continue to ensure that UK insurance PLC is leading the way in the world financial markets. I’m excited to see our conference 2019 event bring all of that, and more, together under one theme,” he added.
