Covid-19 has radically altered long-term risk trends, with new exposures emerging from the pandemic. It has once again clearly shown the limitations of existing business interruption (BI) coverage for such intangible and systemic risks. Claims and class actions brought against insurers to try and trigger BI policies has led to high profile legal cases in the UK, US, Australia and South Africa that will have far-reaching implications for the demand and supply of BI cover. More broadly, new ways of working, changes in travel habits, altered supply chain networks and increased reputational risks have impacted established risk trends, with new exposures and increases in claims patterns.
This virtual conference will be held over three mornings and will provide attendees with education-focused sessions and practical workshops.
