Before holding the annual Australian Liability Conference, ANZIIF will host this year’s Reinsurance Rendezvous.
ANZIIF’s 2024 Reinsurance Rendezvous
This month, ANZIIF has released the agenda for its 2024 Reinsurance Rendezvous, set to take place from Oct. 14-16 at Rydges Resort in Hunter Valley, New South Wales.
A mock trial will examine concussion in sport, with John Edmond, chairman at Gilchrist Connell, serving as judge. Barristers Teni Berberian and Callan O’Neill will participate, providing a legal perspective on concussion-related claims.
The implications of AI for the insurance industry will also be a focal point. A panel featuring Alex Taylor, global head of emerging technology at QBE Ventures, and Omid Karr, executive manager of advanced analytics at IAG, will discuss how AI is transforming risk assessment and business operations.
Rade Musulin, principal at Finity, will lead a session on climate change risks, focusing on how the insurance sector is adapting to the transition toward decarbonisation and the broader economic impacts of climate change.

In addition to the two events, ANZIIF – in partnership with the Australasian Institute of Chartered Loss Adjusters (AICLA) – will host the 2024 AICLA/ANZIIF Claims Convention on Sept. 26 at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth.
The event will explore critical topics under the theme “Claims Under the Microscope – Driving Better Outcomes.”
Speakers include Dr Daniel Mulino, chair of the Standing Committee on Economics, and Emma Curtis, lead ombudsman for insurance at the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
The event is designed to foster knowledge-sharing and improve claims management processes across the industry.
