SUMMIT PROGRAM
2.00PM – 5.00PM The 2022 NIBA Summit will take place in Sydney’s Establishment Ballroom, and include an array of speakers who will cover topical issues affecting the industry, including trust and ethics, professionalism, community, employment, health, as well as the industry’s resilience in the backdrop of a hard market and a climate-impacted environment. Andrew Klein returns as emcee this year, having previously taken the MC mantle at NIBA’s 2012 Convention, which celebrated 30 years of NIBA. HAPPY HOUR 5.00PM – 6.00PM Join us at the Establishment Rooms II and III for an hour of networking with industry colleagues. CELEBRATION DINNER 6.30PM – 11.00PM To be held in the spectacular Ivy Ballroom and with catering provided by Merivale, the Celebration Dinner is the setting for a night of celebrations. Join us as we toast to NIBA’s 40th year anniversary, and honour the very best in insurance and in broking.
At the dinner, we will announce the national winners of the 2022 Stephen Ball Broker of the Year award, sponsored by QBE, and the Warren Tickle Young Broker of the Year award, sponsored by Vero. Both awards celebrate and recognise the achievements of the very best brokers across the country. The Lex McKeown Trophy will also be awarded during the dinner, celebrating an insurance broker’s lifetime of achievements and service to the industry. The dinner will also reveal the 2022 NIBA Underwriting Agency of the Year and General Insurer of the Year awards. Both awards are based off the annual Broker Market Survey, which hundreds of brokers participate in annually.
