AUB-owned Austbrokers’ upcoming conference in Adelaide next month will discuss challenges and opportunities facing the insurance broking industry.

Austbrokers says the program for the April 4-5 event at the Adelaide Convention Centre is aligned with the conference theme “Mission Possible” and is tailored for brokers, broking assistants, operational staff and claims managers.

AUB Group CEO Mike Emmett and Austbrokers Chief Broking Officer Ben Bessell will start with a joint presentation on the opening day, followed by a QBE-sponsored session on mental health by Sydney Swans Psychologist Suzie Rhydderch.

Mr Bessell will lead the third session where he is expected to provide an Australian broking update.

In the afternoon one of the sessions on global trends in venture and innovation will focus on insurtech and ChatGPT.

Sessions on the final day include a presentation from 360 Underwriting Solutions CEO Australia Jason Clarke, who joined the business last November, and an update from National Insurance Brokers Association CEO Phil Kewin on the Quality of Advice Review.

Macquarie Equities Senior Equity Research Analyst Andrew Buncombe will present in the following session on how the Australian general insurance marketplace is changing.
