The magic of Marrakesh - a lot of new information and insight brought home from the WBN conference

Worldwide Broker Network (WBN) is a very important network partner for Firstbrokers. In cooperation with WBN we are able to offer our customers a wide service network and to reach new markets. That is why we are very happy to participate in WBN international events. Last in line was the 71st Global Conference held on 23-26 October 2024 in Marrakesh, Morocco, where Kristina Kreisberg from Firstbrokers participated.

There was plenty of excitement at the big conference: 353 participants and 116 companies from 84 different countries. WBN CEO Olga Collins thanked attendees for energizing the entire global community, shedding light on future trends and innovations in the insurance and employee benefits markets.

Kristina Kreisberg noted that the conference was as usual, very rewarding. She gave a few examples of the content: insurance company partners discussed key topics affecting the market, such as "how technology changes the insurance process and improves the customer experience", "how geopolitical instability affects industry regulations", "changing customer expectations and how insurers and brokers can together respond to them”.

The conference also shed light on the African insurance market. Risk management, employee benefits cyber related threats were discussed.
