Can you afford to miss this unique opportunity to hear from, and network with the most influential leaders in the insurance world?

• The ICMIF Biennial Conference 2015 is like no other. This is the only event where you can you hear from and network with the policymakers who are shaping the future of our sector.


• Add to this the opportunity to learn from the best of the world’s cooperative and mutual insurance leaders and you have the ‘must-attend’ international event of the year.

This year’s theme ‘More than insurance’ and our agenda will reflect the added value that cooperatives and mutuals bring to their markets and to the world that we live in as a whole.

• At the ICMIF Biennial Conference 2015 we will showcase how our most successful member organizations go beyond what is traditionally expected from an insurer.


• You will learn from mutual and cooperative insurers who place their customer/members at the heart of all decision-making – from underwriting, product development and investments to sales, service and claims – and, in turn, increase their market share.


• The Conference will leave you inspired by cooperative and mutual leaders who also take responsibility for our planet by supporting local communities, work towards combating climate change and alleviating poverty. Discover how they motivate their staff, customers and other stakeholders to take action to make this world a safer, more sustainable place to live.

The ICMIF 2015 Conference will be a global gathering of cooperative and mutual insurance leaders. High-profile external partners in ICMIF’s influencing work as well as selected external organizations which contribute to our business intelligence will also be present.

The Conference will examine the leadership challenges, strategies and successes in our sector within a unique international environment of cooperation and sharing. Each day includes plenary sessions featuring high-level guest speakers; ICMIF members’ own expert presenters; roundtable discussions; and interactive voting. The agenda also includes breakout sessions, offering delegates a choice of topics in all four conference languages to meet their individual needs and interests.

Additional networking opportunities during the conference programme, including evening and social events, will firmly ensure that your time at the ICMIF Conference delivers maximum value for you and your organization.

• More than 900 million people are protected by mutual and cooperative insurance across the globe. It’s the fastest growing part of the insurance industry, serving more than the equivalent combined populations of Europe and Oceania.

• Add to that the countless thousands, probably millions, of people in emerging countries who rely on informal, community-run insurance arrangements and the significance and relevance of our sector is clear.
• Cooperative and mutual insurers, account for 27% of that industry and in 2013 invested combined assets of USD 8 trillion.
