London Market Underwriting Leadership Roundtable Breakfast 2026

How AI, regulation, and rising client expectations are reshaping the future of specialty insurance

Your London Market community hub, LMF, and valued Corporate Member Earnix invite you to join for an interactive exclusive London Market roundtable breakfast on 28 April at Wagtail Restaurant, Monument, London, where insurance professionals will hear the key findings from a new senior level industry trends report. This event is perfect for underwriting leaders, actuaries, pricing and risk professionals from Market firms.

Built on a survey of 400 insurance executives, the research examines how AI, regulation, and evolving customer expectations are reshaping insurance strategy—particularly across pricing, underwriting, customer engagement, data quality, and governance. It also highlights the growing divide between market-leading firms and those yet to define a clear direction of travel.

During the session we’ll hear from Paul Webster, who has worked with the insurance sector for over two decades. Paul will run through some of the key highlights of the trends report. LMF’s CEO, Roger Oldham, will also talk with Darren Goddard, Chief Data Officer at London Market underwriting group, Blenheim, about the importance of data quality in preparation for the new world of Ai and an evolving regulatory scene.

Hosted in partnership with Earnix, a global leader in intelligent pricing and decisioning, this session will connect these market trends with practical implications for specialty underwriting, risk, and pricing leaders.

Running from 8.30am to 10.30 am, this interactive London Market community breakfast will go beyond the published report to reveal additional insights not available in the public summary. Guests will enjoy a delicious hot cooked breakfast at the Wagtail, where we’ll enjoy exclusive access. This LMF roundtable event is all about learning, networking and collaboration.
