Risks from connected devices, the Internet of Things and rapid technological change will be discussed at a Vic Claims Discussion Group (VCDG) seminar next month.

The event will examine “what new risks may emerge when we virtually connect our fridge to our car, what traditional industries will be disrupted and who or what will flourish”.

Zurich Head of Risk Engineering for Australia and New Zealand Mervyn Rea will deliver the seminar, addressing potential new crimes and threats, and the challenges for insurance in offering remedies.

The session is at the Jasper Hotel in Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, on July 13 at 5pm.

VCDG, a non-profit educational and networking organisation, says its seminars are open to professionals from all spheres of insurance. For more information, click here.
