More than 1,300 insurance executives, risk specialists and technology leaders from 175 companies in 27 countries gather in Seoul for the Korea International Insurance Conference (KIIC). The two-day event, held at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas and sponsored by Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, focuses on how the industry responds to a rapidly changing risk landscape. Speakers discuss how advances in artificial intelligence and autonomous technologies alter how risks are assessed, priced and managed, moving discussion beyond traditional underwriting and claims. Participants also address broader uncertainty driven by more frequent climate-related disasters and ongoing geopolitical tensions, which make emerging risks harder to predict and quantify. Several themes highlighted across coverage include the need to adapt coverage and pricing for new and evolving threats, and efforts to narrow widening protection gaps. KIIC, now in its third year, positions itself as a cross-border forum for dialogue, knowledge sharing and business partnerships between Korean insurers and international counterparts. The conference aims to bring together insurers, reinsurers, brokers, insurtech firms and risk consultancies to coordinate responses to these challenges.
