ARRIVAL & NETWORKING
Investing in the Real Economy and Societal Change Forum 2026 is a new and exclusive, “Davos” style gathering reserved for Director level and above investment leaders of insurance companies, taking place in London.
World-class experts will share latest insights on the seismic economic shifts that will re-shape real economic activity and the societies that we live in, impacting likely outcomes from insurance asset allocation and investment activity.
Attend dedicated workshop sessions discussing major issues related to economic and societal changes in small groups alongside peers in equally senior roles at fellow insurance companies, as part of a boardroom format to enable fluid discussion of ideas and likely plan of action.
Hear from leading economists and investment specialists on the seismic shifts redefining global markets and insurance asset allocation, enabling you to make confident, high-impact portfolio decisions.
Network solely with Director-level and above professionals, ensuring every conversation delivers meaningful insight, strategic value, and opportunity.
Take part in boardroom-style discussions with fellow senior insurance leaders to exchange perspectives and develop practical responses to major economic and societal changes.
Join a forward-looking community influencing the next phase of insurance investment strategy and policy, while enhancing your professional profile and your organisation’s reputation.
The Insurance Investor | European Awards brings together the European community of insurance investment, asset allocation, capital, risk, and operations management professionals, to recognise those organisations and individuals who have driven positive developments for the industry.
The winners will be revealed celebrated at the annual Awards Ceremony on 23rd September 2026 in Central London.
