Leading Insurance Professionals to Convene at Exclusive Underwriting Network Event in London
The world’s top Chief Underwriting Officers will come together at the invitation-only Underwriting Network event hosted by Intelligent Insurer on June 12, 2025 at One Moorgate Place in London. This prestigious forum is the largest underwriting meeting in the industry and will bring together over 170 senior insurance professionals to collaborate, network, and discuss key challenges in underwriting.
Themed “Resilience – Adaptation – Opportunity: Optimise underwriting decisions in an uncertain market,” the one-day event will tackle pressing issues such as the softening market, geopolitical turbulence, emerging risks, environmental challenges, and capital constraints. Attendees can expect an immersive experience with a variety of panel discussions, private meetings, and roundtables that they can customize according to their interests and needs.
The forum offers exclusive networking opportunities, with a pre-qualification process and invitation-only policy to ensure that delegates are connected with industry experts. In addition, the event also features focused one-to-one business meetings, providing a unique opportunity for attendees to book appointments and meet with key partners in private.
The day will kick off with a keynote speech by Rachel Turk, Chief Underwriting Officer at Lloyd’s, on “Fostering underwriting discipline to remain profitable in the future economy.” Turk will touch on the importance of underwriting discipline in managing combined ratios and market volatility, as well as whether the industry is moving fast enough for large-scale innovation.
Aside from expert insights, the event also fosters long-term connections through pre-scheduled business meetings with potential partners. Multiple roundtable discussions will also be held throughout the day, covering various topics such as the role of AI in pricing, the rise of portfolio underwriters, and the debate between human and machine.
Attendees can also participate in workshops during breakfast and lunch to network, chat about industry issues, and enjoy gourmet food. Panel discussions will also take place, featuring leading minds in the insurance sector. One of the panels will be led by Enrique Fontana Arroyo, Chief Underwriting Officer at Admiral Seguros, who will discuss the use of AI in improving underwriting performance, competitiveness, and the customer experience. He emphasized the importance of exploring the opportunities and challenges that AI presents to ensure that it enhances, rather than replaces, human expertise.
