Discipline – Innovation – Growth
Sharpen underwriting strategy in an evolving 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
The pressure on underwriting leaders has never been more acute. Softening rates, abundant capacity, and the rapid rise of MGAs and alternative capital are intensifying competition across every line. Meanwhile, the accelerating integration of AI is forcing a fundamental rethink of how underwriting decisions are made, how talent is developed, and how risk is priced.
Chief Underwriting Officers must now hold the line on discipline and profitability while simultaneously adapting their operating models, embracing new data capabilities, and closing the modelling gaps that leave their portfolios exposed to tomorrow's emerging risks — all while the pressure for top-line growth shows no sign of easing.
Join Intelligent Insurer at the largest gathering of European Chief Underwriting Officers, at the Underwriting Network: London (June 9th 2026, One Moorgate Place, London).
Last year's event brought together over 200 senior underwriters from Europe's leading insurers and more than 50 CUOs. This year's agenda focuses on how underwriters can maintain discipline and profitability in a soft market, manage underwriting effectively across an increasingly complex multi-channel ecosystem, responsibly integrate data and AI while preserving the underwriter's craft, and build the talent pipelines and modelling capabilities needed to price tomorrow's risks with confidence.
Despite the 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 unrivalled learning — all in one day. Tickets are limited to senior-level underwriters from top-tier insurers. 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
This year features roundtables and workshops, interwoven into a one-day agenda with CUOs from Europe’s biggest insurers
Key themes include:
“Lots of great speakers and panels with some genuinely useful insights. I had many useful meetings and have lots to follow up so it represented real value to me.”
- Ben Howell, Vice President of Sales (EMEA), Federato
Meet the industry leaders speaking in 2026:
“It was the first time for me to attend an event exclusively focused on underwriting. I thought it was well organised and thought-provoking.”
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 200+ 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.
