ABOUT
UIB INSTITUTE
UIB has a track record of delivering high quality insurance and risk management seminars, in London, Dubai and Singapore to many of the world’s energy companies as well as insurance industry practitioners.
With Türkiye rapidly strengthening its position as a regional hub for energy development—spanning renewable power, major infrastructure growth, and deepening global partnerships—it is fitting that this year’s conference takes place in Antalya, a vibrant coastal city where modern innovation meets Mediterranean heritage.
The global energy industry continues to face one of the highest concentrations of complex and evolving risks, reflected in high‑profile losses, geopolitical tensions, and operational disruptions across the world. The UIB Institute was created to deliver targeted knowledge and specialised training on the latest developments and best practices in (re)insurance and risk management, carefully aligned with the needs of the energy and construction sectors in which our clients and partners operate.
Drawing on extensive experience from leading (re)insurance practitioners, the UIB Institute provides participants with insight into the commercial, technical, and operational dynamics required to navigate the challenges of today’s energy landscape.
As part of UIB’s commitment to continuous professional development, learning extends beyond the three-day event: all attendees will receive the presentations, resources, and materials shared during the programme. This conference, and its accompanying resources, also qualify for Continuous Professional Development Points.
MEET THE
SPEAKERS
Participants to this years' conference will enjoy a packed agenda filled with sessions hosted by a range of industry experts from leading organisations such as Steege XP, SCOR, AXA XL, Zurich, Sedgewich Dubai, Trust Re, Africa Re, GCube, Atlantic Re, AGMA and many more, with more speakers to be announced closer to the time.
