About
Innovation & Technology Summit
Followed by the LMForums Summer Party
LMForums is pleased to invite you to our annual technology & innovation summit & Summer Party
The London Market is going through unprescedented change, with industry wide projects underway, such as the Target Operating Model and Placing Platform Limited. Coupled with that, businesses throughout this historic marketplace are facing imcreasing pressure to modernise, in order to meet client expectations and reduce operating costs.
We have seen a big increase in the desire to implement process automation, with varying degrees of artificial intelligence employed. As our businesses become almost totally reliant on data and interconnectivity with clients and other trading partners, so does our need for a sound cyber resilience strategy. Looking to the near future, the insurance market is witnessing an explosion in insuretech solutions, which although predominately impacted the domestic lines market, we are now seeing more progress in the commercial and reinsurance markets.
Join us for our Technology & Innovation Summit where you’ll hear from expert speakers and thought leaders, as well as get the chance to particpate in our smaller interactive workshops. Afterwards, enjoy a Pimm’s on the rooftop, talking to our Market colleagues.

2. Collaborating to deliver Digital Resilience
Creating digital resilience is also about managing risk. It is about developing enduring power in an organisation to protect, transform, renew and recover its digital operations and information through the application of knowledge, policies, processes, systems and technologies. It can prevent or limit damage, enable rapid recovery and help to identify and quantify residual risks.
There is a potential for considerable synergy between these approaches. This workshop will look at how best to coordinate digital resilience services both within your organisation and within your client’s businesses too, to deliver an affordable, attractive and effective balance of protection, indemnity and recovery.
