7th AIDA Europe Conference, Warsaw / Poland, 12 - 13 April 2018 - "De-Mystifying InsurTech: A Legal and Regulatory View"
The 7th AIDA Europe Conference in Warsaw, Poland, has gathered more than two hundred panel members and delegates, from more than 30 countries, comprising members of the insurance industry, a number of regulatory bodies, private practice and academia. The Conference was co-organized together with Kozminski University in Warsaw and the AIDA Polish Chapter.
The discussions in the many sessions and panels of the conference confirmed the high interest in InsurTech and its legal and regulatory aspects and the relevance, generally, of the ground breaking technological developments for the insurance field. Similarly, the Hot Topics and Key Development session, featuring inter alia GDPR and IDD presentations and a status report on BREXIT, was much welcomed by delegates. A copy of the programme is attached.
Finally, the AIDA Working Party Meetings and a meeting by the In-house Counsel Committee saw an active debate.
The presentations in the various Plenary and Breakout Sessions and the AIDA Working Party and the In-house Counsel Meetings are available in the Conference Document Repository.

Again, a big thank you to the host Chapter and Kozsminski University for providing such a great support to the conference organization and to their hospitality!

AIDA Europe Inaugural Conference-Hamburg, 23 May 2008
AIDA Europe held its inaugural conference in Hamburg on 23 May 2008 in association with the Insurance Committee of the International Bar Association. The conference was a complete sell-out with 200 delegates attending from all over Europe and beyond. The delegates were a mixture of private practice lawyers, in-house counsel, claims personnel, accountants, adjusters and other industry players. A pre-conference drinks reception hosted by Plesner Svane Gronborg was held on the eve of the conference and was well attended by delegates.
The conference began with two key note speeches. Wilhelm Zeller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Hannover Re, began by talking about the challenges facing the (re)insurance industry in Europe today (for a copy of the presentation see below). He identified over-regulation especially in the US and the UK, natural catastrophes, climate change and under reserving in respect of long-tail liabilities as being amongst the biggest challenges facing the industry.
Dennis Mahoney, Chairman of Aon Global, gave the second key note address on the topic of how the US and Bermuda view Europe.
Several lawyers and industry figures participated on panel discussions which took place throughout the conference on topics including: present and future risks-the lastest developments and next big claims; class actions-will Europe have to face a US-style litigation culture in the future?; and cross border multi-jurisdictional disputes and how to manage them.
Professor Helmut Heiss, University of Zurich, and Professor Diana Cerini, University of MIlan, spoke on the work of the Innsbruck Group on Principles of European Insurance Contract Law. Professor Robert Merkin and Johanna Hjalmarsson of the University of Southampton, also gave a presentation on the European Intermediaries Directive.
