WELCOME TO THE AILA 2024 NATIONAL CONFERENCE

On behalf of the organising committee for the 2024 Australian Insurance Law Association (AILA) National Conference, I invite you to attend the National Conference from 11 to 13 September 2024 at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, Broadbeach on Queensland’s Gold Coast, with the theme being “Sunny Side Up”.   

The conference will explore issues that will shape the insurance market in the future, and how the industry as a group should respond.  The program includes perspectives from a diverse range of specialists who work within the insurance industry, including brokers, adjusters, insurers, lawyers and barristers, on a range of topics pertinent to those who practice in this space. We are delighted with the high calibre of speakers that we have secured to present at this year’s conference.  Our keynote speaker is her Honour Chief Justice Helen Bowskill of the Queensland Supreme Court.  We also have industry insights from representatives of Delta Insurance, Chubb, AXA XL, Liberty Specialty Markets, Suncorp, WTW, WorkCover Queensland, Gallagher Bassett, BMS Risk Solutions, Finity and more. 

The 2024 conference will be an opportunity for the profession to come together in an environment which fosters the collegiality, networking, thought leadership and education that AILA and its national conference are known for.  With the conference taking place on the Gold Coast, in close proximity to Brisbane’s insurance scene, but even closer proximity to the beautiful Kurrawa Beach, with a fantastic line up of social events, industry professionals will not want to miss this event. 

I look forward to seeing you at ‘Sunny Side Up’ in September.

Conference Chair  AILA 2024 National Conference (Qld)



President’s Welcome

I’m excited that this year the National Conference will showcase my hometown, the Gold Coast.  The Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Northern NSW region have been hard hit by natural disasters recently and it is opportune that the program put together by the Qld Conference Committee will look at the insurer response in ‘The Short Game’ and ‘The Long Game sessions to those events.  The program also includes a number of other ‘hot topics’ with the voices of insured, broker, insurer and advisors all being part of the conversation at the conference.  With the theme of ‘Sunny Side Up’ we explore the opportunities for insurance to positively influence the community, climate and way of living moving forward.

The social events are always a highlight. With the Welcome Reception on the 6th level of Tower 1,The Dorsett positioned to take in the Gold Coast’s vibrant and sparkling skyline to the water, and the Conference Dinner under the lights of The Star Gold Coast Grand Marquee, these are both fantastic opportunities for the network of AILA members and friends to come together in a relaxed setting. With a morning swim in the surf or walk along beautiful Kurrawa Beach each day before the program commences, you will not regret making your way to the Gold Coast for this year’s National Conference Sunny Side Up.
