This year we brought our annual conference home to Berlin – where IUMI was founded 150 years ago. A record 817 attendees gathered to celebrate the development of what was essentially a German organisation in 1874 to the truly global organisation it is today. Delegates were treated to a wide range of workshops covering the pressing marine insurance issues of the day including a special session charting the history of IUMI over the past 15 decades and the future of marine underwriting.

As ever, the formal sessions were supplemented with an opening reception at the Museum of Communication and an end-of-event dinner at the Westhafen Centre.

Grateful thanks are offered to the joint conference hosts, GDV and VHT, for their hard work and commitment to delivering an unforgettable conference.

Next year’s conference is in Singapore 7-10 September.
