EXHIBITION & SPONSORSHIP AFM Conference 2015 Monday 12th October Lancaster London Hotel, Lancaster Terrace, London W2 2TY 1 Welcome We are delighted through this note to release details of the Exhibitor and Sponsorship packages for for this year’s AFM conference. The conference is being held at the Lancaster London Hotel on Tuesday 12th October 2015. Our members told us they liked the format of last year’s event, but that they wanted more time for networking and speaking to exhibitors, and a formal dinner instead of the networking event we provided in 2014. We have duly obliged, with a one-day event, which seeks to explore the future of mutual insurance, in a world dominated by regulation, competitive forces and the challenge of scale. The AFM conference remains an important interface between our members and our Associates. We are extremely grateful for the support of our Associate members, and hope they will once again be able to support this event. I hope that you continue to find your Associate Membership provides you with unique insight into your sector, and a real opportunity to work with organisations who we know really value your help and advice.
