Drones: is the insurance sector ready for take-off?
Lloyd's Library, Lloyd's Building, One Lime Street, London EC3M 7HA,
Thursday 21 February 2019
12:00PM - 14:10PM
Introduction
Whatever you call them – UAVs, UASs, RPASs or the most popular name, drones – these high-flying inventions are in the news for the best and worst reasons. They are used for mountain rescue, police surveillance, committing crime, making movies, supporting the military and more. They are also increasingly used for less dramatic purposes: directing traffic, surveying developments, inspecting farmland or checking oil rigs.
But with such a widening range of applications come the complex UK and European regulation, certification, licence and insurance requirements.
Manufacturers, owners, operators, licensees, safety assessors and drone pilots all need insurance: often bespoke, usually specialist and always compliant with ever-changing legislation. And with an estimated 76,000 drones in UK use by 2030, the demand for innovative insurance products will take-off too.
This IT Matters forum brings together a unique panel of operator and business expertise who will share their real-world practical knowledge of how drones will be used - and possibly misused - and how this could affect Lloyd’s and London insurers, underwriters and brokers.
Who Should Attend
Already know about Regulation (EC) 785/2004, AOCs or MTOWs? Then this event will further expand your knowledge. And if you don’t, this event will inform and prepare you for any future role advising, insuring, underwriting or claims managing the growing drone marketplace.
