The UAE is set to host the 20th Annual Gulf Insurance Forum on October 28 and 29, bringing together more than 250 insurance leaders, experts, and executives from across the GCC and beyond to address the future of the global insurance industry.
Organized by the Emirates Insurance Association and the Gulf Insurance Federation, the event will gather decision-makers from around 30 countries, including representatives from Arab and Afro-Asian insurance federations and major reinsurance firms.
Khaled Mohammed Al Badi, Chairman of both the Emirates Insurance Association and the Gulf Insurance Federation, said this year’s edition is expected to be among the most successful, given its focus on highly relevant and timely issues.
The forum will explore the fast-changing global insurance landscape and its impact on the GCC region, with sessions dedicated to disaster preparedness, reinsurance market trends, and digital transformation.
Key discussions will address natural disasters, evaluating the steps taken by GCC countries and insurance firms to strengthen resilience through improved risk assessment, tailored insurance products, and stronger public-private partnerships.
Participants will also examine shifts in the global reinsurance market, focusing on underwriting strategies, capacity management, and the creation of regional risk pools to reduce financial exposure.
Technology and innovation will be another central theme, with workshops highlighting how artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and digitalization are reshaping risk evaluation and operations in the sector.
By bringing together top regional and international voices, the Gulf Insurance Forum aims to outline a forward-looking roadmap for the insurance industry in a rapidly evolving global environment.
