“Diversity and inclusion continues to be forefront in the minds of executives across the global broking and underwriting communities,” said Steve White, CEO of the British Insurance Brokers’ Association and member of the Dive In steering committee.

Last year, Dive In attracted more than 5000 attendees. Sessions dealt with gender equality, work/life balance, generational stereotypes and disabled talent. In London, there was also a breakfast with cricketer Nasser Hussain and an evening with women winemakers.
