Guernsey Finance has released details of this year's Guernsey Insurance Forum, which will take place in London this October.
The event will focus on the island’s captive sector and the theme of creative destruction. Guernsey’s insurance industry’s first foray into serving non-domestic clients started with captive structures. Credited to economist Joseph Schumpeter in the 1940s, ‘creative destruction’ describes the processes by which the old is replaced by the new.
There will be a keynote speech from Karl Hennessy, CEO of Carrier Solutions at Aon. This will be followed by two panel sessions, both of which will be moderated by TV broadcaster Naga Munchetty:
• ‘What Brexit means for you’ – the impact of Brexit on risk managers, understanding the risks to your organisation, regulatory risk in the insurance market and turning crisis into opportunity
• ‘Substance in the insurance industry: bricks and mortar vs mind and management' – the impact of technology, practical substance considerations and outsourcing/offshoring
The free-to-attend event takes place at Banking Hall, 14 Cornhill, London on 11 October. Registration begins at 1.30pm, with the event ending in a drinks reception at 5pm.
