Festival Risk Management and Claims Handling Conference
The Insurance Institute of Ipswich Suffolk & North Essex invites you to join us for our all day Conference on 16th September 2025

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.
