Thursday, 22nd February 2024

Description

This year we will focus on four core interactive sessions which will run as in person seminars, providing you with an introduction to the key issues and lines of business you are likely to encounter in the early stages of your career. The sessions will cover:

  • Introduction to Insurance with a Legal and Regulatory overview
  • Insurance Policies, Coverage Issues and likely areas of challenge
  • Introduction to Professional Indemnity Insurance
  • Introduction to other Insurance classes

All sessions will give a broad overview of the legal, regulatory, claims and coverage issues you need to know about. Each session will be followed by drinks and nibbles and the opportunity to catch up with friends and peers from the insurance industry.

As well as the four sessions, this year we have added a new soft skills online workshop to our programme which is led by the renowned Conscious Leadership Expert Neil Seligman:
