Postponed from last year owing to the pandemic, over 450 representatives from among AIDA’s 44 National Chapters and 7 affiliated ARIAS societies attended AIDA’s sixteenth quadrennial World Congress held in Melbourne. AILA, BILA’s Australian counterparts within AIDA, hosted the event.
An in-person event only, AIDA Presidential Council meetings and elections took place throughout 29 August, followed by a day of AIDA Working Party meetings on 30 August. Plenary sessions on the final two days of the Congress covered topics ranging from the impact of war and conflict on the insurance market; the market’s responses to climate change and catastrophes; the world of ESG reporting and compliance; and disruptions and innovations affecting traditional methods and lines of business.
Professor Robert Merkin KC, Peter MacDonald Eggers KC, Professor Ozlem Gurses and Tim Hardy were among those from BILA who participated in these sessions.
