The evening

Guests will enjoy drinks and canapés in the Gallery before taking their seats at a single long table. Phil Fersht of HFS Research opens the evening, followed by a moderated roundtable under the Chatham House Rule, designed to encourage candid peer conversation on AI, portfolio profitability and the finance agenda in insurance. The conversation continues over a three-course networking dinner, creating meaningful executive connections in a relaxed, private setting. Numbers are held deliberately low so every seat carries weight.
