Dive In, the annual global festival championing diversity, equity and inclusion across the insurance industry, is taking place next week and Australasian broker network Steadfast Group is hosting an online event open to all.

Steadfast is participating in the festival for the 10th time. Dive In was launched in the UK by Lloyd’s of London in 2015 and has grown into one of the world’s largest culture and talent events. However, this year is the last.

Steadfast EGM Australasian networks, broker and insurer services Nick Cook says insurance is "at its heart" a people business.

"While technology and artificial intelligence will continue to transform how we work, the qualities that define great organisations and great leaders remain uniquely human," he said.

“Dive In creates an opportunity for our industry to come together, learn from different perspectives and have meaningful conversations about culture, connection and inclusion. These are not just workplace issues. They are essential to attracting talent, strengthening teams and ensuring our industry continues to evolve and thrive.”

Steadfast’s Dive In event will feature speed painter, Rowan, who will explore the festival’s theme – The human gAIn: Powering culture and connection – while creating an artwork in real time.

Dive In Festival Partners include AIG, Aon, Axa, Marsh and WTW. Organisers say that while rooted in the insurance market, Dive In now unites brokers, underwriters, and industry leaders from across the global insurance and risk community.
