Biba announces 2025 conference theme

Biba has announced the theme for its 2025 conference.

The conference, which is held in Manchester each year, provides an opportunity for the industry to network, do business together and hear from experts on a range of talking points.

Next year’s theme has been dubbed A New Era, with Biba looking to take the opportunity to lead the conversation in defining what brokers want the future of the industry to look like.

Graeme Trudgill, Biba’s chief executive, said: “Reflecting on what has impacted us since the millennium is incredibly important when looking forward.

“We have experienced much change in the last 25 years – seven prime ministers, a new regulator and its subsequent rules, Brexit, a cost-of-living crisis and changing risks.

“We have a new government with a challenging growth strategy that insurance brokers can help deliver.

“Now is the time to look forward with a fresh perspective on what’s to come and I know that our members will find insurance solutions for the new risks people and businesses will face as we enter ‘A New Era’ of broking.”

Conference details

The Biba conference in 2025 will be hosted by broadcaster Clive Myrie.

It will open at 8am on 14 May and will finish at 4pm on 15 May at Manchester Central.

Emma Chapman, Biba’s conference director, said: “Revealing our conference theme each year is exciting for us and launching ‘A New Era’ is exceptionally so.

“While we should reflect on what has happened, it is equally as important to explore how ‘A New Era’ of insurance will look and how we at Biba can continue to support brokers.

“Our seminar sessions will cover important topics, including fair value, claims, regulation and capacity.”
