IUA to hold 2003 seminar with LMA

The International Underwriting Association (IUA) and the Lloyd's Market Association (LMA) are to co-host the IUA's 2003 international seminar.

IUA chairman Stephen Cane said: "The changes that have taken place in the market, the growth in common capital ownership and the new spirit of co-operation make this a natural and logical development. The Lloyd's contribution will be invaluable."

LMA chairman Stephen Catlin said: "Lloyd's and the IUA are part of the same market, the main strategic issue are the same, and we will have a lot to talk about."

For the first time in the 30 years, the seminar will take place in London. The seminars started in 1973 and were originally held in the UK but outside London.
