LMF Delegated Authority Summit 2026

Not another Delegated Authority conference. A different kind of Market conversation.

Delegated Authority is fundamental to the success of the Lloyd’s and London Specialty Insurance Market. But as the market continues to evolve, are we asking the right questions about its future?

For too long, industry conversations have often revisited familiar challenges – data quality, bordereaux, compliance, oversight and operational inefficiencies. These remain important, but surely it’s time to broaden the conversation?

How can Delegated Authority create greater commercial value? How can insurers, MGAs, coverholders and brokers build stronger, more profitable partnerships? And how can technology, AI and better use of data help us move beyond process improvement to achieve genuine underwriting excellence?

At LMF, we believe that great conferences should do more than inform. They should challenge assumptions, encourage fresh thinking, connect people and inspire action.

That’s why we’re bringing the Market together for a refreshingly different, highly interactive afternoon dedicated to the future of Delegated Authority.

Why attend?

• Fresh perspectives, not familiar presentations. Explore the questions others may be avoiding, with honest conversations about the opportunities and challenges facing Delegated Authority.
• Commercial value, not just compliance. Consider how delegated arrangements can drive profitable growth, better loss ratios, innovation and stronger business relationships.
• Your voice matters. Through live polling, collaborative roundtable exercises and interactive discussions, you’ll help shape the conversation rather than simply listen to it.
• Learn from across the Market. Connect with practitioners from insurers, Lloyd’s managing agents, MGAs, coverholders, brokers and other organisations supporting the DA ecosystem.
• Ideas you can take back to your business. Leave with fresh insights, practical perspectives and meaningful connections that can make a difference.
• Build your professional network. Meet colleagues, develop new relationships and exchange ideas in the welcoming, collaborative LMF community.

What will we cover?

• Growth and strategy – Where is DA heading, and how can the sector grow sustainably?
• Data and modernisation – Can we reduce friction and move beyond the traditional bordereau?
• Governance, claims oversight and resilience – Are firms equipped to demonstrate effective control over delegated activities?
• AI and intelligent decision-making – Can technology improve underwriting results as well as operational efficiency?
• People and future skills – Who will manage, innovate and lead the next generation of DA businesses?
• Market collaboration – What can the industry achieve collectively that individual firms cannot?
