The British Insurance Summit (2010) was the start of a wonderful conference that focused entirely on the insurance industry of the whole UK. A two-day long event, this strategic networking gathering took place in London at the Grange City Hotel. This flagship event brought together brokers, insurers and providers to debate current issues, listen to informed speakers and connect with each other. Branded a success by those who attended, the British Insurance Summit 2010, paved the way for events which will be upcoming in the future.

Pulling in some of the best and brightest minds of the insurance world the British Insurance Summit 2010 had two days that were packed full of speakers and question and answer sessions that really let attendees get to the meat of a subject. Because of the success of the leading British Insurance Summit 2010, one was also held in 2011 and in March of this year as well. Any well thought out conference that brings new ideas and thought provoking discussions to the table are welcome by most professionals and the British Insurance Summit 2010 really underscored the fact that the insurance industry is no different.

Touted as the most prominent event to happen to the insurance industry, the British Insurance Summit 2010, really focused on every facet of the insurance industry. Particularly they were looking at current trending in the insurance sector and trying to anticipate what future trends might be. Industry topics were discussed and investigated thoroughly including recent innovations, opportunity windows and challenges. Because they hosted so many senior level presentations, attendees really got a good feel for the full gambit of the insurance sector.

The British Insurance Summit 2010 had a full generous selection of attendees as well. The entire spectrum of the insurance industry was represented from the very corporate level to consultants and providers. There really was something for everyone offered up in the menu of discussions and question and answer sessions.

Some of the more important speaking sessions were:

1. A focus on UK growth with discussions on how to find advantages in the current recession.
2. What risk management benefits are available to the UK insurance market from the new regulations and Solvency II potentials.
3. Rising to meet or exceed customer needs and relationships via the application of new distribution channels and new technology.
4. Networking with and learning from those who have been able to raise profits through product development.

Thankfully the British Insurance Summit 2010 was so well received. Because of the positive results from that summit, one has been held each year since giving UK insurance professionals a solid forum for discussions and networking that wasn’t previously available. This is great for not only those in the industry, but also for their customers. The best in innovation always occurs when you bring the best minds together, and when it came to insurance, the British Insurance Summit of 2010 did just that.

With a promising future, paved by the British Insurance Summit 2010, it looks like there will be more summits scheduled in the years to come. This really is a boon for the insurance industry as a whole, and hopefully many providers will be able to glean useful information that they can then use to offer better service to their customers.
