Global Insurance Summit
Shifting geopolitical norms, new risks to businesses and individuals, and slowing economic growth are making it harder for the insurance industry to fulfill its vital role: providing financial and societal stability across economies. This is giving rise to a widening protection gap and causing some legacy players to retreat from lines of business. All of which raises the question: are some risks becoming uninsurable?
To address this challenge, and examine various solutions, the Global Insurance Summit is returning in its multi-track format, bringing together leaders from across the global insurance ecosystem. As before, they will include senior executives, decision makers, and policymakers, from insurers, reinsurers, regulators and service providers.
Sir Charles Roxburgh, Chair, Lloyd's
Pina Albo, CEO, Hamilton
Tara Foley, CEO, AXA, UK & Ireland
In a series of discussions, debates and keynote interviews, these business leaders will join FT journalists to examine the changes needed to ensure the insurance industry continues to serve its customers. Sessions will cover the use of technology to mitigate climate risk; the ethical and safe application of AI; the increased use of alternative asset classes; and the innovations that can enable life insurers to adapt to changing demographics.
Key Themes
AI & Emerging Technologies
How can insurers provide adequate coverage in the face of rapid technological advancement?
Escalating Natural Catastrophes
How should insurers evolve risk modelling in response to the growing frequency and severity of natural catastrophes?
The Regulatory Landscape
How will regulatory reforms change competitive dynamics?
Private Capital Investment
What are the long term implications of the ongoing flow of private capital into life insurance?
Systemic Risk and Coverage Gaps

The Reinsurance Perspective
Assessing the changing role of reinsurers in the wider insurance ecosystem.
"What FT delivers, in my view, is its reach. You get two things. You get the quality of the people speaking, which is really important for proper debate. Then you also know the quality of the audience that are listening. And that to me is a big differential. "
David Howden, Founder and CEO, Howden
