The theme of the conference, “The Future of Insurance: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities,” aims to bring together policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators to shape a new course for insurance in Africa. According to Lady Moore, discussions will cover a range of critical topics, including the role of technology and innovation, cyber and credit risk protection, and the opportunities provided by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
The conference will culminate in a communique, which will be presented to insurance regulators for adoption and implementation in their respective countries. The Chairperson of the Local Organising Committee, Mrs. Ebelechukwu Nwachukwu, emphasized that the event will inspire and empower women in the insurance sector, and urged those who have not yet registered to do so.
AIWA, founded to promote gender diversity and equal opportunities in the insurance industry, is committed to fostering leadership and inclusive growth. The conference is expected to have a significant impact on making insurance more accessible and innovative across Africa.
