Welcome all, to New Zealand Underwriting Agencies Councils Christchurch Expo which is being held following overwhelming feedback from our members and supply partners that such an event was needed in the South island. We believe this will add value and encourage the expansion of underwriting Agencies in NZ.
The theme for this event is the same as that used for last year's Auckland Expo; “Challenging Markets and Innovative Solutions” and we expect this theme will continue to be relevant for years to come.
“Challenging Markets”
Because that is the environment our industry faces right now following a series of global and local events which have placed pressure on insurer capacity to accept risk and provide the security our customers expect and need. Recent increases in premiums is attracting a lot of attention which our broker partners have to manage.
“Innovative Solutions”
Because that is what Underwriting Agencies have always looked to bring to the challenges that insurance brokers and their customers are facing.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our members and supply partners to demonstrate their service offerings and solutions to our target audience of insurance brokers. Entry will be free to all brokers and clothed trestle tables with space for free standing signage will be available for members and supply partners to engage with each other and attending brokers. The cost for these trestle tabletop display areas will be $850 + GST and we encourage early registration as there are a limited number of spaces.
This event will be held at the Rydges Latimer Hotel in Christchurch’s CBD on Thursday 23 May 2024. The doors will open at 8.30am for tabletop exhibitors to set up. We will be asking brokers to be there at 10.15am for registration, before spending time at the members tables and morning tea from 10.30am and we expect the event to be finished by 12.30pm.
The real value to be gained from this Expo will be the networking opportunities with all attendees. We do hope you will all attend and support this event and thank you in advance for your support.
