Partnerships have always been at the core of what iTOO does, and this edition reflects that commitment head-on. It’s also the theme of our recentUN-Conference, bringing together thought leaders and visionaries to explore what truly purposeful collaboration looks like in an increasingly complex world.
From the forces reshaping the global insurance landscape to the risks emerging right across Africa, this edition brings together some of the sharpest minds in specialty insurance to explore what it really means to build something together.
