The British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) is the UK’s leading general insurance intermediary organisation. BIBA represents the interests of insurance brokers, intermediaries, and their customers. It’s also the voice of the insurance sector advising members, Government, regulators, consumer bodies and other stakeholders on key insurance issues.
The annual BIBA Conference has a well-earned reputation for showcasing the most influential and inspiring business speakers to be found at any event. With thousands of insurance professionals under one roof, The BIBA Conference provides a forum for the industry to reunite, network and do business together, efficiently, and effectively.
The 2022 conference lived up to expectations with a fantastic line up of speakers, events, and experts in the room. The live conference held on May 11th and 12th attracted members of the BIBA institute to attend a range of talks from industry professionals including guest speakers Andrew Marr, Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, and Nicola Adams OBE.
This year saw 5000 brokers at the UK’s largest insurance broking event and network with over 200 exhibitors in a packed exhibition hall. The agenda for the two-day conference was full of insightful events. Take a look here.
Ravenhall Risk Solutions Director, Neil Grimshaw FCII has been a member of the Yorkshire and Northern Regional BIBA committee for over 12 years, and is currently the chair. The committee is responsible for overseeing the policy on a particular insurance field. They are also important forums for the sharing of ideas and discussion about BIBA, its members and the industry.
The BIBA event is a fantastic place to bring together intermediaries and providers along with key industry decision-makers. The conference allows Ravenhall Risk Solutions to get through huge amounts of discussions over the two days. The agenda allows busy professionals to soak up as much information as possible, without having a huge impact on clients or our team. As business insurance professionals, it’s important to remain up to date with trends and changes that could impact clients. The conference is a great place to understand key market developments, new product evolution and industry hot topics. Over the last two years, we have seen a lot of change in the insurance sector, and there’s been a knock on effect of the pandemic for businesses. Staying up to date and on top of environmental and social issues is really important to our clients.
Attending the conferences each year ensures continuous professional development within the Ravenhall team. The education sessions provided at the events ensure our team are kept at the leading edge of professional advice.
Neil, says “The BIBA conference is a highlight of the insurance calendar and it also provides a great opportunity for Ravenhall to build and develop new relationships with providers. Relationships are the core of any service industry and Ravenhall’s strong relationships with product providers allow us to ensure that we are providing the best value insurance products for our clients.”
