Our half-day conference will explore and celebrate successful partnerships.

Join Insurtech UK for our upcoming Partnerships Day, where we will explore and celebrate the power of collaboration within the insurtech community.

With thanks to our hosts and partners at Aon, this dynamic event will bring together leading insurers and innovative insurtechs to share real-world insights, success stories, and lessons learned from working together in an evolving landscape.

This Partnerships Day will bring together colleagues from across the ecosystem to share and learn from experiences of working together, and facilitate potential future collaborations through pitching sessions and a networking drinks reception.

Whether you’re looking to showcase your offering, discover new solutions, or simply be inspired by what’s possible through partnership, Partnerships Day is the place to be.
