Lord’s has long been seen as the ‘Home of Cricket’ and is situated near central London in St Johns Wood.

Our one day conference will give you the opportunity to update your knowledge of the current topical issues in Insurance and Personal Injury, brought to you by leading specialist in their fields.

The conference qualifies for up to 4.25 hours CII points and will be composed of a series of lectures in the morning, with a choice of attending two out of four breakout sessions in the afternoon.
