Optimise underwriting decisions in an uncertain market
9 June 2026 | One Moorgate Place | London
An invitation-only, complimentary event for senior-level underwriters.
Find out how to thrive through economic uncertainty by boosting underwriting profitability
While underwriting is the cornerstone of insurance, the industry is shrouded in a sense of uncertainty. In such unpredictable times, where external factors and competition collide, it takes a wealth of skills, collaboration, and expertise to maintain underwriting profitability.
This expertise is spearheaded by the industry’s finest Chief Underwriting Officers, who are tasked with navigating the choppy waters of a softening market, geopolitical turbulence, an evolving emerging risk landscape, environmental challenges, and capital constraints – all while the drive for top-line growth gets ever more aggressive.
Join Intelligent Insurer at the largest gathering of European Chief Underwriting Officers, at the Underwriting Network: London (June 9th 2026, One Moorgate Place, London).
The 2025 event brought together industry leaders to explore how to deliver new products, enter new markets, form strategic partnerships, and unlock new revenue streams to thrive in a competitive landscape. Key themes throughout the agenda included operational resilience, improving customer outcomes, and - of course - tackling unpredictability.
Despite so many events in the insurance calendar, this is the ONLY invitation-only, closed-door, large-scale underwriting meeting, designed to deliver high-level networking and unrivaled learning – all in one day.
Tickets are limited to senior-level underwriters from top-tier insurers and this event sold out last year, so apply for your pass without delay.
“This is an excellent event allowing underwriting professionals to come together to understand the issues in the market.”
- Neil Arklie, Director, A I UK International Limited
Invitation-only format ensures that you’ll meet with a senior, targeted audience
This isn’t a generic, catch-all insurance event.
Instead, it’s a targeted forum for underwriters from Europe’s biggest insurers, all gathering to delve into the core challenges in underwriting.
This isn’t an ordinary conference.
It’s an invitation-only meeting of 120+ senior underwriters who are pre-qualified to ensure a relevant, engaged, intimate audience.
This isn’t death-by-PowerPoint with stale panel discussions.
The focus is firmly on one-on-one meetings, roundtables, Oxford-style debates, and workshops, interwoven around a 1- day agenda featuring CUOs from Europe’s biggest insurers.
This isn’t a one-track event.
It’s an array of meeting rooms, breakouts, and networking areas, so you’ll be able to customise your day out of the office with your perfect mix of networking and learning.
