Life Insurance Outlook Conference 2023

As the life insurance industry moves into 2023 it is facing an abundance of challenges, ranging from the profitability of individual disability income insurance to the future of the Life Insurance Framework in the context of the Quality of Advice Review.

Financial Newswire will present the latest market intelligence impacting the life insurance space from the question of which companies dominate market share through to a thorough analysis of declining life/risk adviser numbers and what this means for life insurers, advisers and their clients.

The conference will also examine the always challenging area of claims-handling and regulatory oversight.

The Financial Newswire Life Insurance Outlook Conference 2023 also brings together three of Australia’s top life insurance chief executives to discuss the future of the industry and the emergence of the new Council of Australian Life Insurers (CALI).

This represents an unparalleled opportunity to bring yourself up to date with events in life insurance and to prepare for the year ahead. You will also find out which industry products have been voted by your industry peers as the best on the market at our second Adviser Choice Risk Awards.

Registrations are open now.
