Insurance Business Awards Australia

CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY

The annual Insurance Business Awards, now on its fourth year, has been recognised as the leading independent awards event in the insurance industry. Across an array of categories, the awards showcase the leading brokers, brokerages, insurers, underwriting agencies, BDMs and more, for their achievements, leadership and innovation over the past year.

Unfortunately, due to the current situation with COVID, we have made the decision to transfer the event to a virtual format. We appreciate the continued cooperation and understanding of all registrants and partners throughout another challenging year. If you have purchased a ticket for the planned physical event, you will be able to transfer your purchase to one of our awards packages. The awards packages available will help you share and celebrate your success, ranging from a trophy and digital medal to a comprehensive multimedia editorial campaign. Toby Brown will be in touch with you in the coming weeks to discuss your options. If you would like to give him a call, he would love to hear from you. His details are toby.brown@keymedia.com or 02 8437 4795.

The Insurance Business Awards will now take place virtually on Friday, 12 November 2021. The event will feature the exclusive stream of the awards presentation and online networking opportunities such as a live chat and peer-matching function of the virtual platform. The entire Insurance Business community and all members of the insurance industry are invited. Register for free here.
