The South African Association of Engineering Insurers (SAAEI) Conference was hosted 13th of October – the 14th of October at the beautiful venue, Kloofzicht Lodge and Spa. Besides the stunning views and sipping a morning coffee while watching the sunrise, the conference as a whole was a huge success and of great benefit to our team. We received invaluable and insightful information on various relevant topics from all of the inspirational speakers who participated.
Amongst the topics were the impact of COVID-19, the Riots and Strikes in South Africa and the Russian – Ukraine war on insurance (Ms. Lisa Swaine). Reinsurance (Mr. Kevin Stanley & Ms. Hayley Schell) and the importance of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) as well as what has happened in engineering insurance over the past 12 months (Ms. Manuela Baroncini).
