CFC Summit brings together hundreds of brokers from across the UK to discuss the hottest topics in specialty insurance.
This dynamic in-person event promises engaging talks, plenty of networking and a first-look at the exciting innovation that’s powering CFC and changing insurance!
Don't miss out!
Group CEO Dave Walsh will give us an update on the past year at CFC.
For an insurance business, we talk a lot about tech. And rightly so. From AI to automation, technology is fundamentally changing how our industry operates. Join CFC’s CEO Graeme Newman as he discusses today’s most relevant technology developments, how CFC is addressing them and the challenges that lie ahead.
From its early beginnings, the business of insurance has been about matching the profile of risk to risk takers. CFC’s Chief Underwriting Officer, Andy Holmes, will discuss the evolution of capacity match-making in modern insurance, how CFC's Lloyd's Syndicate fits into this and why in insurance, if not in life, polygamy is the way to go.
You’ve heard about our award-winning, single-question quoting platform Connect. Well, it’s just gotten even better. Join James McNamara our UK Distribution Manager, as he takes us through the latest innovations that make Connect the fastest, smartest way to trade with CFC.
We’re always looking for new ways to make our brokers’ lives easier and our underwriting more efficient. Underwriter Amy Hurwicz is here with a first-look at the new features we’re bringing you this year – think intuitive self-service, smart automation and more.
Do your cyber clients have our mobile app, Response? If not, they should. Cyber Product Leader Philippa Berry explains how our app delivers proactive cyber threat intelligence and may be the only thing standing between our customers and the hackers.
Technology is a key part of innovation. But developing the right products to meet customer needs is also critical. Staying ahead of the game, and relevant to our customers, means creating products for emerging risks and markets that push us into the protection gap - the space between what insurance does today and what it needs to do tomorrow. CFC wants to solve these problems that others don't, can't or won't. Head of Innovation George Beattie will tell us how.
Join Baroness Karren Brady for this unmissable, powerful keynote address on leadership, teamwork and performance. As vice chairman of West Ham United, advisor to Lord Sugar on BBC's The Apprentice, and having won numerous awards and accolades – not least being named one of the most powerful people in sport, Businesswoman of the Year and most influential people in business in the UK – Baroness Karren Brady has a wealth of insights and experience to share.
The perennial challenge of systemic risk is a constant focus for the cyber market. But what does it mean and why does it matter? Head of Cyber Strategy James Burns will highlight the core issues at play, discuss how the challenges might be met and set forth a proposal for what the right solution for the market could be.
What really happens when a company suffers a cyber attack and they don’t have insurance? Cyber Incident Manager Bob Scott-Kerr is here to walk us through some gruelling real life scenarios – how the criminal groups operate that target our insured, what went wrong and how we fixed it.
From systemic risk to rate increases, nothing is off limits. We've brought together CFC's cyber gurus to answer all your burning questions.
Tobacco Dock's Grade 1 listed building is steeped with history having hosted all manner of commodities for over two centuries. Prepare to be charmed by the listed timbers and curved brick vaults of this award-winning venue.
