The PNLA are delighted to have been invited to take part in the 26th IMC conference with support from the Professional Indemnity Forum organised by Tony Gregory and presented by Deborah Halls. Tim Constable of Bates Wells will be the PNLA speaker this year. A wonderful two day event with entertainment including punting and a banquet at Robinson College Cambridge – 1-3 July 2024.

The event will once again cover a wide number of issues including:
• A review of recent issues and expectations for the future.
• Emerging issues facing the professions and the insurance market.
• Regulatory, legal and coverage developments in individual professions, including insurance
brokers and solicitors.
