2 WELCOME WHO YOU WILL MEET: Dear Colleague, Welcome to the Claims Event 2013; Post Claims Club s flagship event for the claims sector. Catch up with old industry contacts and use the opportunity to meet new ones at what promises to be another stimulating Claims Event. With a new regulator being born in the form of the FCA, 2013 has been a year of structural and regulatory change. Many of us are poised to discover how the regulator will interact with the market and how the results of the FCA s thematic review will impact the claims sector. Join our panel of regulatory experts to discuss what effects could be and discuss future implications. Regulation for the industry has also taken the form of LASPO and the long-awaited implementation of the portals. Has this automation aided the removal of small, straight-forward claims from the insurers, or has it added other unforeseen cost and bureaucracy? The peer-led discussion will help to uncover how the industry has been impacted. Potential future regulation will also affect the services that the insurance sector uses; such as private investigators. How will regulation of this industry affect the claims world? Will reliance on other forms of surveillance take more precedence? We will cover all the hot topics as well as issues which have been present over the past few years, but continue to be current and pressing to the market such as; the mesothelioma compensation scheme and self-regulation. Listen, enjoy and engage at this year s Claims Event I look forward to seeing you there, Claims Club Members Claims Directors Claims Managers Claims Service Providers Underwriters Marketing Managers Call Centre Managers Loss Adjusters Loss Assessors Trade Association Representatives Regulators Solicitors VENUE DETAILS: GOODMANS YARD TOWER GATEWAY SHORTER STREET A1210 A1210 GRANGE HOTEL PRESCOT STREET CHAMBER STREET ROYAL MINT STREET Grange Hotel Tower Bridge, London 45 Prescot Street London E1 8GP LEMAN STREET A1202 Jonathan Swift, group editor in chief, Post Magazine postevents.co.uk/theclaimsevent
