5th annual Dubai World Insurance Congress 2022 | Newsquest Specialist Media Ltd - Dubai World Insurance Congress | 8 March 2022 | The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai International Financial Centre, DIFC, off - Sheikh Zayed Rd - Dubai - UAE

Co-hosted by Global Reinsurance and the Dubai International Financial Centre Authority (DIFC), the 5th annual Dubai World Insurance Congress (DWIC) re-imagines the traditional conference to deliver unrivalled networking, business and thought leadership opportunities, all under one roof.

Global Reinsurance first came to the region in 2007, launching Multaqa Qatar and delivering the event successfully for a decade. In 2017, the Dubai World Insurance Congress [DWIC] launched.

Since we last came together in February 2020, the pandemic crisis continues and we have had to learn to adapt – the way we live, the way we work, the way we travel. DWIC has also adapted to become a ‘hybrid’ event – a ‘live’ event with a virtual element for facilitating video call meetings, for our registered Insurers, Reinsurers, Brokers and MGAs who are unable to attend in person. All of our speaker sessions will be filmed and available to view after the event.
