Join us on Wednesday, November 25^th, 2026 at KPMG Canada’s 35^th annual insurance conference as we explore how the industry can turn opportunity into action – and action into measurable impact.

As the industry faces rapid change and disruption, this year’s theme, Opportunity. Action. Impact, focuses on the strategies needed to stay ahead – moving beyond managing change to confidently leading it.

Connect with peers and leaders through forward-looking plenary sessions, targeted breakouts and meaningful networking opportunities – designed to provide insight into the priorities shaping the industry. We’ll cover a range of topics including how leading organizations are navigating a fast-changing market, winning the next generation of customers through experience, distribution and AI, responding to shifting regulatory, capital and global economic dynamics, and strengthening resilience across risk, finance, operations and talent.

Gain practical insights and hear directly from industry leaders, regulators and decision-makers to help you stay ahead, accelerate progress and turn insight into action.
