About

The Business Insurance Women to Watch Awards & Leadership Conference is the only recognition programme that celebrates leading women from every facet of the commercial insurance industry. ​Winners come from commercial insurance, risk management, and related fields such as consulting and law. What started as a recognition programme in 2006, has grown into an educational programme aimed at the advancement of women in commercial insurance. 

In 2017, Business Insurance launched the EMEA Women to Watch Awards programme which recognizes winners from Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This year's programme will take place on 5 December in London and include a half-day professional development conference, followed by an awards ceremony.

An Advisory Board of past honorees, diversity experts, and insurance industry leaders guide the development of the conference content.
