Over 300 experts from around the world will exchange experiences and discuss the challenges of microinsurance. They include representatives from international organisations, NGOs, development-aid agencies, insurance and reinsurance companies, academics, policymakers and regulators.

The conference will have plenary panel discussions on key topics addressing an interdisciplinary audience. Parallel working group sessions will deal in depth with different subtopics.
