Firstbrokers’ representatives Kristina Kreisberg and Eduard Kanoshin participated on January 26-27 on Worldwide Broker Network (WBN) European Regional Meeting held in Turkey. The gathering of almost two hundred insurance industry professionals in Istanbul started the new WBN conference season.The conference consisted of two inspiring days to connect with colleagues and follow the latest market trends and issues.
The participants were able to hear interesting speeches about the most important European topics in the insurance and employee benefit industry from the keynote speaker, customers, partners and other members of the network. WBN is the world’s largest independent network of insurance brokers. Firstbrokers and its customers benefit from its membership – not least through these big meetings. Many conferences discuss issues that Firstbrokers can directly use in their everyday client work. This time Firstbrokers team found the following topics particularly interesting:
- The keynote speaker of the conference Soli Özel from Istanbul Kadir Has University provided a compass for navigating the turbulence when it comes to geopolitical changes and their global implications.
- George Zafiriou from Comergen SA and Ipek Ünal from Integra discussed the specific issues of the Turkish and European insurance markets.
- Scott Toland from Zurich Insurance shared information about ESG and sustainability regulations for Europe. In addition to new knowledge and skills, WBN meetings also offer something else: networking with European colleagues is always useful!
