The 29th EAIC will be held in Manila from May 6 to May 9, 2018 with the theme of “Managing Disruptions, Driving Change”.

In 1962, the East Asian Insurance Congress (EAIC) was founded with the ultimate goal of furthering and developing international collaboration in the field of insurance of every sort. Over its history, EAIC has been billed as the premier biennial insurance event of the region.

Every other year, the EAIC hosting rotates across its member cities to continue the networking mission across the region. This rotation comes as a way for the EAIC to showcase the best that the countries in the region can offer from having its own unique insurance practices to addressing issues that can help boost credibility and confidence in the local insurance industry.

This 2018, the 29th EAIC returns and is hosted by one of its very first host countries, the Philippines, on May 6-9, 2018. The city of Manila was the second city to play host to this premier Congress in 1964, at the turn of the millennium in 2000.

On the 29th EAIC in Manila, hundreds of Asia’s leading insurance executives and upcoming talent will converge. Themed “Managing Disruptions, Driving Change,” the Congress promises to present a different experience with the objective of not only tackling the current challenges of the day, but also offer solutions and strategic tips to cope with issues, guide industry players to emerge as winners, and provide for extensive networking opportunities for delegates.

More importantly, the EAIC will strive to draw more life market players as the Congress is aimed at the whole insurance industry—both life and general—and not just the non-life players.
