In this article from The Insurer, Vicky Carter, Chairman, Global Capital Solutions, International, talks about plans for the Marsh McLennan Rising Professionals Global Forum and Gala set for June 27 and 28. Guy Carpenter is a business of Marsh McLennan.
The theme for the biennial event is Transforming Chaos into Opportunity. This year’s event will spotlight market-changing issues such as climate change, cybersecurity, geopolitical upheaval and the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI), not only to enhance risk understanding but also to shine a light on the opportunities for the (re)insurance industry to come to the fore and deliver security during a time of volatility.
“There is no doubt that our theme this year is a powerful one,” Vicky explained, who is also founder of the event. “Our industry sits at the core of a risk universe that is unparalleled in recent history in terms of its scope, intensity, and systemic potential. In such a challenging and challenged environment, the ability to engage, educate and perhaps most importantly empower the next generation of talent to take on this challenge, to find solutions, and to elevate our industry’s relevance, will be paramount. That is exactly what we aim to support through the Rising Professionals’ Forum.”
