Hear from our 2026 attendees
This is really a big bang event: getting our name out there, getting in front of the brokers that we want to trade with. And we've been really successful in having the right conversations and meeting the right people, and that's going to convert into business for us. ”
Jordan Moss
Chief executive officer, Thomas IQ MGA
The day allowed me to become a better broker by understanding insurer appetite and knowing which insurers genuinely want a particular type of business. That means we can approach the right markets rather than sending risks everywhere and hoping something sticks. ”
Niraj Mamtora
Director, Forum Insurance
If you have not come to the Expo yet, you definitely should next time, because it's an opportunity you cannot miss: speaking with other brokers, speaking with solution providers. So I would really recommend they join Broker Expo next year ”
Martin Callaert
CEO and co-founder, Paper Box
Very worthwhile day at Broker Expo. Catching up with old mates, meeting face to face with some of our broker partners and progressing new opportunities. AI and tech will never replace events like this ”

Being here and understanding those challenges and positives from the brokers helps us become a better insurer. ”

The Expo is a great opportunity to meet members and find out about suppliers within our industry. So I would really recommend anybody comes along because this is, as I said earlier, a people industry. Make those connections. ”

What a brilliant day chatting with so many of our broker and platform partners at my first ever Broker Expo! 💗 A full-on day strengthening relationships and having valuable conversations. ”
Lauren Kelly

I think you can't really put anything above in-person connections. Just reinforcing existing relationships, making new ones in person, where you can share perspectives, get new ones, and so [widen?] your own perspective as well. ”

Graham Trudgill
Chief executive, British Insurance Brokers' Association
