This event is ideal for insurance brokers, underwriters, claims specialists, and all professionals involved in the property sector looking to broaden their knowledge and finish the year with valuable new connections.

Overview

Join us for an exclusive Property Masterclass designed to equip brokers and industry professionals with a comprehensive view of today's property market. This dynamic session brings together a panel of experts offering insights from four critical perspectives: Broker, Underwriter, Claims Preparation and Risk Engineering.

The day will begin with a strategic update from Nick Cook, NIBA President and Executive General Manager at Steadfast, who will outline the key reforms, priorities, and challenges shaping the broking landscape in 2025.

Following Nick's update, Dirk Keuneman, State Manager NSW/ACT at Chubb, will lead a high-level chat on Multinational Placements, setting the scene for the expert panel discussion to follow.

Our panellists will then share their perspectives across the property spectrum:

  • Broker Perspective: Ryan Gooley, National Placement Manager and National Real Estate & Hospitality Practice Leader at Gallagher
  • Underwriter Perspective: Andrew Geldart, NSW ACT Property & Marine Underwriting Manager at Zurich
  • Claims Preparation Perspective: Nick Kerr, Managing Principal at Claims Consulting Group
  • Risk Engineering Perspective: Stephanie Crook, Senior Risk Engineer at HDI Global

Through this engaging discussion, you'll gain a deeper understanding of emerging risks, claims trends, and placement challenges, providing practical insights to approach property insurance with clarity and confidence.

The session will then open to audience Q&A, allowing you to ask questions and join the conversation directly with our expert panel.

To wrap up the day, enjoy networking drinks and nibbles, a chance to reflect on the year that's been, celebrate achievements, and strengthen connections with the ACT insurance community.
