FSC Life Insurance Awards & Conference

In April the FSC Life Insurance Awards were held as a prelude to the FSC Life Conference. Now in its fifth year, the conference is the industry’s must-attend event, covering the latest policy, regulatory and other developments affecting the industry.

The conference delivered a program of both plenary and concurrent sessions, including local and international key speakers and presenters from the industry.
