The Geneva Association convenes 50 insurance CEOs to discuss industry challenges as the organisation hits its 50-year milestone
ZURICH, 5 June 2023 – This year, 2023, marks 50 years that The Geneva Association has existed as the insurance industry’s platform for research and dialogue.
Much has changed in the world – and in insurance – since the organisation was founded in 1973. Globalisation, climate change, demographic trends, technology and more have transformed the major risks people face. Yet, the core principle of insurance remains the same: to protect individuals and businesses against those risks and build societal resilience towards them.

In 2022, The Geneva Association continued to raise awareness of emerging trends for insurers and highlight the positive role insurance can play in society through research activities, events, awards, media coverage and more. We welcomed CEO members to Venice for our 49th General Assembly, published 9 research reports, held 8 conferences and 5 webinars, and increased our engagement with key stakeholders by 85%.
