Sustainability Mentor Networking Event Series

Work in insurance and recognise the critical role insurance has to play in building a more sustainable future, but don't know where to start?

The goal of Better Insurance Network's quarterly Mentoring Networking events is to inspire and equip insurance professionals of any experience level to take action within their organisations and/or bring sustainability into their roles.

We have assembled a fantastic selection of mentors who each have a wealth of experience in implementing sustainability and enacting change in an insurance business.

How does it work?

When you enrol, you'll let us know which type of mentor you'd most like to meet. We'll also ask you to submit a couple of questions or discussion topics you'd particularly like to cover.

On the day, attendees will be seated in small groups with a mentor for 40 minutes. In this time you will each be able to ask your question(s) and listen/participate in the group discussion. After a short break, the process is repeated with a second mentor.

Once the formal conversations have finished, there will be networking drinks, giving you a chance to meet the other mentors and attendees. Each event will be attended by 3-5 mentors.

We will do our best to curate the seating plan so attendees meet their preferred mentors and are sat with attendees with complementary question sets.

If we have reached capacity for a particular date, you will be added to the waiting list and given the opportunity to attend the next available event.

Extensive drinks selection provided.

2-hour CPD certificate sent to all attendees post-event.
