Biba 2011: Opportunities in Adversity

'Opportunities in Adversity' will be the theme for Biba's 2011 conference at Manchester Central on 11th and 12th May 2011.

Biba said the title was chosen to recognise the difficult economic conditions facing the country, while appreciating and showcasing those entrepreneurial brokers who will relish the challenge to build stronger business models.

Lindsay Campbell, Biba conference organiser, said: “It’s always good to return to Manchester, where we’ve enjoyed some great conferences over recent years. Manchester Central, which has proved extremely popular with delegates and exhibitors, is conveniently located in the heart of the city centre, offering great networking opportunities both at the conference itself and late into the evening! We look forward to seeing you there.”

The event will follow the successful two-day format launched in 2010. Entry to both the conference and exhibition will be free to all employees of Biba member firms and for all brokers.

Biba chief executive, Eric Galbraith, added: “BIBA 2011 will address the business issues for all segments of the broking and intermediary channel, as well as providing the best networking experience available in the industry and the largest insurance exhibition in the UK. I look forward to welcoming you to Biba 2011 in May next year.”

Biba 2010, Professionalism in a changing world, which was the most popular Biba conference ever held with a total of over 4000 attendees, including more than 2300 brokers.
