Construction Risk Management conference returns as buyers demand more support from carriers
Commercial Risk is holding its fourth annual Construction Risk Management conference in Europe this June at a vital time for the industry’s risk managers, who face a kaleidoscope of risk and want more support from the insurance market to overcome an array of challenges.
The construction industry is facing significant headwinds in the wake of ESG and decarbonisation targets. It also faces its own climate-related threats to future projects. This comes just as the industry undergoes a technological transformation with the onset of Construction 4.0 that offers both efficiency and risk. These issues are in addition to strains created by inflation and ongoing supply chain problems.
The general sense is that the construction industry must innovate in order to meet these challenges. But what does this mean for risk? And many risk managers complain that the insurance market is not keeping pace with their own product innovations, and are understandably not happy.
It is against this backdrop that Commercial Risk will hold its Construction Risk Management Europe conference at the Leonardo London Tower Bridge Hotel in London on 7-8 June.
The event, once again with Aon as headline partner, is the largest gathering of risk and insurance managers from construction project owners, construction firms, construction underwriters, brokers, lawyers, modellers and claims advisors in Europe. It attracted more than 500 registrations last year, including well over 200 risk and insurance managers.
This year’s meeting will assess the rising pressures faced by construction risk managers, while providing helpful insights into risk management best practice. We will also seek to answer the question “Is the insurance industry keeping pace with the demands of a transitioning construction industry?”. And if not, how can risk managers, brokers and carriers work together to improve transfer options?
The conference is being held in association with UK risk management association Airmic, the Institute of Risk Management (IRM), the International Risk Management Institute (IRMI), the International Association of Engineering Insures (IMIA) and the London Engineering Group (LEG).
It will be partnered by Aon, QBE, Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, Zurich, Allianz, Scor, Sedgwick, Fenchurch Law, Jupiter and inclus.
The event is free for risk and insurance managers. All other delegates are welcome.
