Verlingue London Markets will be attending the BIBA Conference 2026, the UK’s flagship insurance broking event, taking place on 13–14 May 2026 at Manchester Central.
The BIBA Conference, organised by the British Insurance Brokers’ Association, brings together brokers, insurers and industry leaders from across the UK insurance market.
Under the 2026 theme “Time To”, this year’s conference focuses on action, progress and meaningful collaboration at a time of continued change across the sector.
Why the BIBA Conference matters
Often described as the most important event in the UK insurance calendar, the BIBA Conference provides a unique opportunity for the market to connect face‑to‑face, share insight and build long‑term partnerships. For brokers operating in complex and specialist areas of risk, it is a key forum for discussion around market access, capacity and evolving client needs.
With thousands of insurance professionals attending, the conference also plays a critical role in shaping conversations around innovation, regulation and the future of broking.
