Biba reveals theme for 2012 conference will look focus on pressures facing the market
‘Shaping our Futures’ has been chosen as the theme for the 2012 Biba conference in Manchester.
Biba said the title reflects the broker trade bodies manifesto commitment to influence the issues affecting brokers and to take the lead role, with support from members, in driving through change in the insurance industry.
“External forces will continue to affect the broker market in 2012, from the current loss of economic confidence in Europe and the US, to the impact on the customer and broker of future regulatory conditions, developing technology and other changing risks,” said Biba in a statement.
The conference will be held at the Manchester Central on 16 and 17 May 2012.
Biba chief executive Eric Galbraith said: “Throughout 2012, Biba will continue to take the initiative in promoting the need for more proportionate, appropriate and cost effective regulation, while stressing the personalised and professional services available to businesses and consumers provided by Biba members.
”Shaping our Futures will look in depth at the pressures facing the market, while providing the networking and learning experience so valued by brokers, insurers and providers.”
Lindsay Campbell, Biba conference organiser, said: “It’s great to be returning to Manchester. We receive extremely positive feedback about this particular city, and indeed Manchester Central, which has always proved a popular venue for delegates and exhibitors alike. We look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible!”
Last year the conference attracted 4,152 attendees including 174 exhibitors and 2,526 brokers. Entry is free to all brokers.
