Re/insurance industry companies must move with the times or face being left behind, and the key to staying at the

forefront of the industry is being nimble and keeping an open mind.

M&A, the continuing rise of insurtech, the rampant growth of the alternative capital market, alternative investment opportunities and new

distribution channels are all key to staying ahead of the pack.

This year’s Reactions North America Conference will look at the various strategies employed by leading re/insurance industry companies and how they are using innovative approaches to make sure they are well placed to succeed in the increasingly competitive marketplace.

Property and Casualty Trends Panel Discussion14:30 to 15:30

The record breaking North Atlantic hurricane season of 2017 as well as the highest ever level of losses to arise from wildfires mean the property re/insurance industry has garnered plenty of attention in North America over the last 12 months. However, the significant pricing increases many had expected have for the most part failed to materialise. Why is this? There has been some movement in the casualty sector, and experts have warned that this side of the industry may well now find itself some upwards pricing pressure as carriers look to correct years of downwards rating pressure. Is this trend likely to continue? How concerned is the industry about a surge in casualty claims?
