Insurance Council of Australia CEO Andrew Hall will deliver a keynote speech at the upcoming Outlook 2026 conference.

The full-day event, organised by Insurance News, takes place on March 19 in Sydney, and tickets are available here.

Mr Hall will speak on the major challenges facing our industry, including increasing concerns around insurance affordability, and what can be done to address them. The speech will be followed by a question and answer session.

Attendees will also gain access to an exclusive printed copy of our INFORM report, compiled with experts at Finity.

The report provides a detailed analysis of rates, capacity and profitability across commercial and personal lines, plus a series of in-depth features addressing issues including the rational/irrational soft market, the psychological claims crisis, and cyber risks and myths. 

Other highlights include panel sessions on the future of broking, the evolution of claims, smarter cyber decisions, and AI.

There’s also a session on wellbeing in the workplace, plus our annual CEO panel, which includes AIG Australia CEO Kathleen Warden, Allianz chief GM commercial and personal injury Julie Mitchell and Aon Australia CEO Kevan Johnston.

The event is backed by gold partners QBE and Tata Consultancy Services, and sponsors Entsia, AAMC and Australia Underwriting, and attendees are eligible for eight ANZIIF CIP points and six NIBA CPD points.
