The Insurance Council of New Zealand (ICNZ) will host a number of webinars to discuss the challenges facing the insurance industry globally.

Billed as the ICNZ Speaker Series to replace this year’s annual conference, the first webinar on July 14 has lined up Australian Prudential Regulation Authority Executive Board Member Geoff Summerhayes to talk about the post-pandemic landscape facing the industry.

ICNZ CEO Tim Grafton will chair the panel discussion, which will also feature Association of British Insurers Director General Huw Evans and Victoria University of Wellington’s Ilan Noy, who is Chairman of Economics of Disasters and Climate Change.

“While we are sad that we won’t be meeting in person this year, we are very much looking forward to bringing together a broad range of thought leaders to share their insights on important industry topics,” Mr Grafton told insuranceNEWS.com.au.

“Kicking off on 14 July and running through to the end of the year, the series will provide thought-provoking sessions that will encourage wide conversation while also enabling you to continue your professional development with CPD credits earned for each webinar.”

Six webinars have been planned for the Speaker Series, with the second set for July 30, focusing on the impact of COVID-19 on the financial landscape.
