We aim to support and develop the regional insurance landscape, recognizing its crucial role in the economic fabric of our nation and the unique challenges it faces.

Several panel discussions will be conducted, addressing many important insurance technical issues and their impact on the insurance industry, including:

Day 1

• Recap and Progress: Addressing Natural Catastrophes in the GCC.
• Reinsurance Capacity in a Volatile Market: Challenges and Strategies for the GCC.
• Underwriting Excellence and Adapting Reinsurance Pricing in the GCC.

We have invited a broad spectrum of participants including insurance companies, brokers, and associations, alongside Arab Insurance Federations, Federation of Afro-Asian Insurers & Reinsurers (FAIR) and regulatory bodies, to engage in this critical dialogue and connect with peers across the Gulf insurance markets.
