ELHUA is pleased

to announce that

its 5th International

hugely successful 4 conferences previously

held in Brussels in 2010, Vienna in 2012, in

Prague in 2014 and in Madrid in 2016. To

date, the conferences have been a great

success, with the first conference attracting

123 participants from 25 countries, the

second conference 147 from 28 countries

and the third attracting 162 from 30

countries. Our goal for next June 2018 is

150+ participants!

Warsaw was chosen as a suitable venue

due to its central European location, easy

access within and outside of Europe and its

excellent conference facilities. For those

who are not familiar with Warsaw and its

surrounding historical towns, we have

provided a useful booklet which you can

Our committee has created the attached

program to cater for the needs of

Underwriters and Claims Assessors of all

levels and is based on the valuable

feedback provided by attendees at previous

events. Presenters at the conference will

range from experts in insurance and

reinsurance to Medical Doctors to Key Note

speakers.

We have introduced a structure to the

ELHUA conference where the conference

/workshops, will focus on showing your

Underwriters and Claims Assessors how to

apply what they have learned to their day-

to-day case assessment.

The main language of the next conference

will be English, however cater for local
