Monday, November 16, 2026 · Hyatt Regency Cologne

The Assekuradeurtag will begin at 9.00 on Monday 16 November. Breakfast will be served from 8.00.

In addition to networking opportunities throughout the day, we will be hosting through the morning a series of presentations and panel discussions on critical issues affecting the growth and development of the German market in the year ahead. Attendance at these sessions is optional, and delegates who prefer to network instead are free to do so. Lunch will be served at 13.00, and networking will continue through the afternoon.

At 16.45 we will reconvene for the FASE Colloquium, on strengthening MGA representation in Germany and the roles a German MGA association could take on. The conference will conclude at 17.00 and will be followed by a cocktail reception until 19.30.
