As the London insurtech industry booms, it's no surprise that the UK is home to some of the most exciting insurance conferences in the world.
Attending conferences is a fantastic way to network with other insurance professionals, share ideas, and follow the latest news in insurance trends.
Whilst major in-person events are currently on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many organisers are determined to provide value to the industry by offering virtual conferences online during the summer or postponing conferences until next year.
Here are some of the UK's best insurance and insurtech conferences coming up over the next year or two.
