Europe is facing dramatic and unprecedented changes. The Dublin International Insurance & Management Association (DIMA) is bringing together the industry to ‘Face the Future’ at a major conference taking place in May. The European Insurance Forum 2013, an international conference held annually in Dublin (9-10 May), brings together industry and the regulatory community to address major issues in the sector.
International re/insurers in Ireland have continued to provide on-going stability to their policyholders for almost 25 years, most recently against a background of events such as Superstorm Sandy, the Costa Concordia sinking and devastating US droughts last summer, whilst at the same time dealing with the market turmoil created by the on-going crisis of confidence within the Eurozone.
Ireland is a leading centre of European cross-border re/insurance business, and DIMA (as the industry body in Ireland) is calling on the sector across Europe to come together to;
- Identify the new landscape of risks and discuss solutions for the major challenges facing
the industry.
- Highlight innovations such as research and development centres in Ireland and
determine future structures and activities for European and global business.
Sarah Goddard, CEO of DIMA, said, “The fact is that the nature of risk is changing, and the re/insurance sector is adapting to provide a secure base for its clients to progress and evolve.
“Europe, and Ireland as one of its major insurance hubs, is in the midst of great change, and needs to identify and manage the shifting challenges such as risk, reputation and regulation.
EIF2013 is more important than ever as the Irish Government is making progress on its Presidency of the European Union. This gathering is a key opportunity to reflect Ireland’s leading position in the international arena and shine a light on progress in the sector.”
EIF2013 speakers include:
- John Bruton, President of IFSC Ireland and former Taoiseach
- Matthew Elderfield, Deputy Governor of the Financial Regulator
- Fiona Muldoon, Director of Insurance and Credit Institutions, Central Bank of Ireland
- Gay Mitchell, MEP
- And many others from the international industry.
