About Us
Our History
Insurance Market Conferences (IMC) was founded in 1994 by Tony Gregory with the purpose of arranging Professional Indemnity and Liability conferences. It became a Limited Company in 2000 and expanded its services by providing a wide variety of technical, managerial and personal skills training courses and services for the London and Lloyd’s insurance market.
In January 2006 we moved into our own training rooms in St Clare Street just off Minories in London to continue to provide professional training environment for all our open courses and breakfast seminars. These can also be hired by our clients for their own needs.
Our Aims and Objectives are:
- To be the leading provider of training in technical insurance and reinsurance business to the London Market.
- To use only the best industry speakers
- To make our training stimulating, participative and relevant
- To help organisations meet the FSA’s requirements on training and competency
- To respond to the changing worldwide regulatory environment
Open Courses
We have over 200 courses scheduled throughout the year, from 90 minute breakfast seminars and workshops to 2 day intermediate programmes. Our trainers are all well respected experts in their field, and come from the world of academia, the legal profession, broking and underwriting. They use appropriate exercises and case studies to reinforce the lectures and presentations. Assessments may also be provided where appropriate. Our aim is to provide the opportunity for insurance practitioners to learn the technical aspects of various classes of business from introductory to advanced levels.
Our delegates are presented with a bound set of comprehensive course notes on the day. These include slides, course notes and relevant case studies; all in our standard IMC format.
In-House Courses
Our in-house course service is an important area of our business. We have access to a large bank of experienced trainers, who can work with our clients to develop bespoke training solutions to suit all budgets. Our prices include all consultation and development work, so there are no hidden charges.
In-house course clients benefit from all of the services that we provide at our open courses, including bound course materials in the IMC format, a delegate support service and post course questionnaires.
Insurance Faculties
IMC has established the Professional Liability Faculty and General Liability Faculty to provide a wide range of services to members. These include access to the websites which provide many relevant papers, details of important case law, and the daily electronic Insurance Echo.
Delegates to any relevant courses will automatically receive associate membership.
