Conference website now open for bookings

The official 2019 Airmic conference website is now live, and places are open for booking, the association has announced. The three-day event will take place in Harrogate from 3 to 5 June.

In the first of a series of conference announcements, Airmic has revealed that Channel 4 news presenter Jon Snow will be the keynote speaker.

The conference programme is fuller than ever before, including 35 workshops and new events such as a Technology Hub, details of which will be revealed in Airmic News over the coming months. There will be an extra focus on health and wellbeing, including Wellness Sessions which will offer a choice of Yoga, Zumba or a 5K run.

This year's conference theme is New World, New Solutions. John Ludlow, Airmic CEO, explains:

"We are living in a world driven by a digital revolution. In this world, data, robotics and technology-enabled intelligence are penetrating all aspects of business.

"It's a new world and the old solutions are not enough. Achieving resilience today requires a different approach to ten years ago, and that is the theme of the conference - we believe that our members' approach to risk and insurance must become more ambitious than ever before!"

Stands in the exhibition hall have also gone on sale and are selling fast, according to events manager Susi Ozkurt. A small handful of stands remain; if you would like to enquire further, please contact susi.ozkurt@airmic.com.
