About the session:

There are lots of parallels between the world of wine and the past year in insurance and financial

services. There are also some lessons that we can take from the world of wine in terms of how we

can harness potential for the year to come, based on predicted trends.

In this fun and engaging session, Jeff will combine his knowledge and experience operating a wine

business in Spain, together with his knowledge and experience of providing training to insurance and

financial services firms across the world, to provide a review of the last year and discuss likely trends

for the year ahead. 5 wines will be used for tasting to illustrate and bring to life the review of 2023 and predicted trends for 2024.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Identify the developments in insurance and financial services over the past year
• Recognise the likely trends for the year to come in insurance and financial services
