12-13 October 2026 | Monkey Island Estate, Maidenhead, SL6
Welcome, and thank you for joining us at this year’s Sompo Risk Managers Forum.
The Forum brings together clients, partners and Sompo colleagues to exchange ideas and reflect on how the risk landscape is changing.
As risks become more complex and interconnected, we hope this event gives you the chance to step back, share experiences and compare notes on the issues you are seeing day to day.
Your feedback has helped us create an agenda with a clear focus on practical value. We will share perspectives from Sompo, explore current and emerging risks and, most importantly, hear about the challenges you are facing and how we can support you.
The market continues to move quickly, and there is real value in taking the time to talk openly about what is changing, what is working and where a different approach may be needed.
Thank you for being part of the Risk Managers Forum and for the trust you place in Sompo. We look forward to spending time with you and hearing your perspectives.
