The risks posed by lithium batteries (Free)
Book now for this very popular topic
Lithium-ion batteries were first mass-produced in the early 1990s, and they are performing a key role in the move away from reliance upon fossil fuels. However, using lithium to store energy presents a new set of risks to property underwriters.
This session is designed to draw the underwriter’s and broker’s attention to these risks and why rating and wording alterations may be needed to counter this growing problem.
• What is lithium and why is it an efficient medium to store energy
• What properties of lithium pose hazards
• Uses of lithium-ion batteries
• Good practice for users
• Potential underwriting measures

"Men, It's Ok to Talk (and Other Ways to Process Difficult Stuff)"
Talking is good for us. We all know that and yet some of us find it hard to talk about how we feel, especially when we aren’t feeling good.
This session is aimed at men and those that would like to support the men in their lives. The aim of the session is to shine a light on why some men find it difficult to open up, to explore ways to support men when they are struggling and to share some alternative ways to process difficult stuff, for those who really don’t like talking.
In this interactive session, attendees will develop an understanding of some of the challenges facing men today and will take away some helpful ways to support men (or themselves) through difficult times.
