Sian Barton

Broker Expo is the event where brokers do business and we are pleased to welcome you to a special app edition of Insurance Age which is designed to help you get the most out of the day as possible.

An essential part of the broker calendar, the day is an opportunity to network with peers and meet a wide range of providers across top insurers, MGAs, wholesalers and tech providers.

In addition, there is also a packed conference programme designed to help the broker community explore issues such as regulation, broking in a digital world, working with vulnerable customers and the incoming rules surrounding GDPR.

The morning sessions will see speakers from Biba, Applied Systems, the CII, NFU Mutual and compliance experts RWA share their expertise.

Following a complimentary lunch delegates will hear from former England footballer Stuart Pearce, otherwise known as Psycho, who has turned his talents to motivational speaking and is sure to be unmissable.

Local MP Geoffrey Robinson will close the event with his keynote talk on how broking has changed in improved in recent years.

This app edition also features useful content around current broking issues, products and thought leadership which we hope will enhance your day.
