ICMIF Biennial Conference
The cooperative and mutual insurance sector offers more than insurance: it creates real value for the future of our world. It provides solutions that enable people, communities and businesses to exist in safety and in harmony with their environment; it protects lives and livelihoods. The contribution of cooperative/mutual insurers to socio-economic development and environmental protection is vital, but has often been overlooked or undervalued.
The ICMIF Biennial Conference 2015 marks the advent of a new chapter for cooperative/mutual insurers as they step up to the world stage to influence the future of our financial systems and our natural world.
The The International Cooperative and Mutual Insurance Federation (ICMIF) Biennial Conference 2015 brings to life the relevance and significance of ICMIF’s collaboration with headline organizations such as the United Nations on issues of resilience, climate change and financial sustainability. Our visible leadership has brought us to the forefront of the global discussions and policymaking that will change the face of the insurance industry and protect our planet.
The ICMIF Biennial Conference 2015 also shines a spotlight on the innovations that set ICMIF members apart from their competitors. Centuries-old cooperative/mutual values combine with twenty-first century insurance to meet the expectations of Generation Y; to manage and mitigate major losses; and to address emerging risks.
Delegates and objectives:
The ICMIF 2015 Conference will be a global gathering of cooperative and mutual insurance leaders. High-profile external partners in ICMIF’s influencing work as well as selected external organizations which contribute to our business intelligence will also be present.
The Conference will examine the leadership challenges, strategies and successes in our sector within a unique international environment of cooperation and sharing. Each day includes plenary sessions featuring high-level guest speakers; ICMIF members’ own expert presenters; roundtable discussions; and interactive voting. The agenda also includes breakout sessions, offering delegates a choice of topics in all four conference languages to meet their individual needs and interests.
Additional networking opportunities during the conference programme, including evening and social events, will firmly ensure that your time at the ICMIF Conference delivers maximum value for you and your organization.
Furthermore on Wednesday 9 October there will be a keynote presentation given by Margareta Wahlström, Special Representative of the Secretary-General For Disaster Risk Reduction, United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction.
