About this Event

CILA Future Focus invites you to join us for a guided walking tour through the City's historic Insurance District.

You'll see centuries of risk-taking come to life - from Roman beginnings and medieval merchants to stories of fire, fraud, piracy, coffee houses and the darker sides of global trade - and gain a deeper appreciation of the industry you’re part of today.

It will offer a relaxed and engaging way to connect with the history that underpins modern insurance, and meet other claims professionals keen to do the same!

Attendance is also accredited for 2 hours of CPD to support your ongoing professional development.
Organised by CILA's Future Focus group
CILA's Future Focus group represents the next generation of loss adjusters and claims professionals. While this event is particularly well suited to newer entrants to the profession, it will be of interest to anyone working in claims or insurance.
