BrokersLink, one of the world’s largest independent insurance broker networks, whose members manage premium volumes in excess of USD 14 billion, has announced that AIG President and CEO Robert H. Benmosche will deliver a keynote speech at its fourth annual global conference in Madrid.
Speaking during the afternoon of the open market day of the conference on Friday, 19 October, Mr Benmosche will discuss his company’s impressive rise from the incredible challenges of the financial crisis of 2008 and beyond.
Featured among Fortune’s Top 50 Business Leaders and named Executive of the Year by The New York Times Deal Book in 2010, Mr Benmosche brings a distinguished background and unique perspective to the conference line-up. He is both a voice of AIG and an executive with considerable experience and knowledge of the industry.
The overall theme of the 2012 conference is “Together yet Independent.” It will address the challenge of being independent in todays’ insurance market as well as the necessity for any insurance broker to build strong partnerships to propose a compelling alternative to the major global brokers.
It is aimed at both BrokersLink members and the wider insurance market. Over 200 international delegates are expected to attend.
The first day of the conference (Thursday, 18 October), which is for members only, will focus on discussing the critical aspects of the brokerage business, as well as the most recent trends in the insurance industry. It will be followed by a networking dinner in the evening.
Friday, 19 October is the main conference day, which will be open to non-members. The themes covered will include international human resources and talent management, the economic downturn and the subsequent challenges for the insurance industry, emerging markets and risks such as cyber liability. Risk managers from large Iberian and LatAm multinationals will also participate in a round table. The day will close with a gala dinner at a landmark venue in the City.
José Fonseca, Chairman of BrokersLink, said: “BrokersLink is a proud partner of AIG and we credit this powerful union as a driving force behind the alliance’s impressive growth over the years. We are therefore delighted to welcome Mr Benmosche to the impressive line-up of authoritative, insightful speakers at our 2012 conference in Madrid.”
