The Insurance Institute of Ipswich Suffolk & North Essex invites you to join us for our all day Conference on 16th September 2025 As we come to the end of the festival season - from small niche events to the larger scale weekend festivals that attract thousands of visitors across the UK the industry navigates the complexities of this year's events. It's the ideal time to examine what we can learn and how we can better prepare for the 2026 season. What risks are involved and how do we, the Insurance Industry play our part in managing that risk? How does the client start to plan for the event - identifying risks, planning for all eventualities. What happens when things go wrong? What coverage might be available? How do we manage major claims in an ever more litigious society? We have experts from Clients, Brokers, Insurers, Solicitors, and Loss Adjusters ready to help answer these and other questions. Come along for the day and find our more. Refreshments and lunch will be provided. Parking is free to attendees. Speakers are as follows - Katie Moore, Live Nation Tim Rudland, Tysers Karina Gaertner, Azorra Leanne Conisbee, HCR Legal LLP Polly Sayers, HCR Legal LLP Kate Montagu, Miller Hannah Logan, Miller Jon Clarke, Hiscox Claire Welford, Crawford & Company Steven Sawyer, Crawford & Company Brendan Levy, Crawford & Company Courteney Jamison, Crawford & Company Date and Time 16th September 2025 from 9am to 6pm including a cash bar in the last hour for networking.
