THE BACKGROUND
Global Reinsurance is delighted to unveil a second event.
Our flagship DWIC event has grown four-fold since its launch in 2017. Today, the DWIC community spans more than 85 countries, with continued growth expected as we approach our 10-year anniversary in 2027.
DWIC Connect gives us the flexibility to take DWIC into more markets and extend its global reach, while maintaining the same high-quality networking and meetings platform for which DWIC has become renowned.
DWIC Connect is a sub-brand of our flagship DWIC event, designed to deliver the DWIC experience to new regions around the world.
A BRIDGE TO CONNECT
Istanbul uniquely connects Europe, Central & Eastern Europe (CEE), Central Asia, the Middle East, MENA, and North Africa.
A perfect and accessible hub for reinsurers who cannot always travel to Central Asia or remote regions.
+ Ability to meet a diverse range of reinsurers (EU, Asia, Middle East).
+ Valuable for expanding regional presence.
+ A fresh location which will attract a new mix of re/insurance companies and senior executives.
Brand Visibility Lead Generation Build Business Relationships
DWIC Connect Istanbul offers various levels of sponsorship. All of our packages include complimentary delegate passes and exclusively reserved meeting space.
