ABOUT THE SESSION

There are lots of parallels between the world of wine and the past year in insurance and financial services. There are also some lessons that we can take from the world of wine in terms of how we can harness potential for the year to come, based on predicted trends.

In this fun and engaging session, Jeff will combine his knowledge and experience operating a wine business in Spain, together with his knowledge and experience of providing training to insurance and financial services firms across the world, to provide a review of the last year and discuss likely trends for the year ahead. 5 wines will be used for tasting to illustrate and bring to life the review of 2024 and predicted trends for 2025.
