Calling all Delegates!

www.catiq.com/c4

CatIQ is proud to announce that registration for its second annual Canadian Catastrophe Conference (C4 2017) is now open!

Join CatIQ, as well as delegates from across diverse agencies including insurance professionals, government, policymakers, academics, risk managers and more, as we dive into a content-driven discussion that is meant to encourage collaboration between industries before, during and after a catastrophic event.

The conference begins with an overview of natural and man-made catastrophes in 2016, which is immediately followed by a discussion on Canada’s costliest catastrophe to date: The Fort McMurray Wildfire.

Several sector perspectives are going to be explored, so there are sessions for everyone. Concerned about the societal impacts of catastrophes? Are you interested in the disasters themselves and how to better prepare for them? What about the financial implications of catastrophes? Of course, to prepare for catastrophes, access to Canadian hazard data is a necessity. Where can it be found? What format is it in?

All of these perspectives, topics and questions, plus student delegate presentations, an exciting presentation from storm chaser George Kourounis and two interactive workshops, will be tackled over the course of the three-day conference.

Trust us when we say, you don’t want to miss it!

Join us February 1-3, 2017 at the Allstream Centre in Toronto
