fastTrack Forum: Arthur J Gallagher International CEO announced as keynote speaker

fastTrack has released details about the speaker line-up for its Forum in February next year.

David Ross, chief executive of Arthur J Gallagher International, will be giving the keynote speech at fastTrack’s first one-day event. Ross joined the broker as a graduate trainee in 1990 and has been CEO since 2005.

The line-up for the panel debate has also been revealed as David Martin, Willis CEO, Mike Hammond, international chairman of Lockton, David Robinson, regional president for ACE UK and Ireland, and Matthieu Caillat, CEO of AXA Corporate Solutions UK. The discussion on the future of the London market will be chaired by editor of Strategic Risk, Mike Jones.

“We are delighted to announce such a high-calibre line-up of speakers for fastTrack’s first one-day event,” Georgina Wainwright, research and development manager at Airmic, commented. “It is shaping up to be a very exciting day.”

fastTrack announced in October that it will be holding its first conference, FastTrack Forum: Developing Tomorrow’s Risk Leaders, to give Airmic's younger and less-experienced members the chance to network, attend educational workshops and hear from more established members of the risk management and insurance professions.

The event has met with strong demand already, with only a small number of places left to be filled. “The Forum is filling up quickly, so I’d urge anyone wanting to attend to go to the fastTrack website now,” Wainwright added.   

Other highlights of the programme include a speech from Andrew Kendrick, president of ACE European Group, a closing speech from the president of FERMA, Julia Graham, and workshops on emerging risks and business skills.
