CII & BIBA Anglia Knowledge Forum
This will be the fourth of these annual events in the Anglia region where we engage with members over the major issues impacting our industry today.
This year, the Cambridge Insurance Institute and BIBA join forces once again to reach out to more individuals and firms. It’s a formidable team!
At this time we are all faced with similar issues and the scale and pace of change is enormous. If we are to thrive and have a future as a sector, and as individual businesses, we have to break repetitive patterns. We will need to accommodate, innovate, and overcome the impact from the challenges we face in the world today.
The 2019 Anglia Knowledge Forum will be looking at some of the many global challenges we have on a scale never before experienced. There will be advice, guidance and knowledge to help you to steer a positive approach to the future.
This event is set to provide some excellent key speakers, where you can enjoy sessions on an informative range of topics and technical discussions with our exhibitors, who offer information on a wide variety of first class insurance products that could benefit your clients as well as your business.
This event is open to both CII and BIBA members, as well as non-members. We are also offering Exhibiton stands at £250. If you wish to enquire further about a stand, please email Sara.Thake@yutree.com
Come yourself, bring your staff or send a representative from your office. We are certain that it will be a great day.
