Set against the backdrop of a period of unprecedented change and ongoing uncertainty, the ABI’s 2014 Motor Conference, in partnership with DAC Beachcroft, will be a unique opportunity to discuss and debate the latest developments with leading industry experts.

Industry CEOs, senior MPs, regulators, claimant/defendant lawyers and the media will come together to debate and discuss a number of high-profile issues, including:

• The impact of the Competition and Markets Authority's final recommendations
• Improving the industry’s reputation
• Ongoing civil justice reforms, including those aimed at tackling whiplash claims
• The future of driving, including automated technology
• The latest developments and issues surrounding fraud
• The future of the regulatory landscape

Despite changes to improve the market over the last few years, there is still much more to be done to help reduce the cost pressures on motorists at a time when household budgets are facing a significant squeeze. 
 
With motor insurance continuing to feature heavily on news, political and regulatory agendas, as well as being under close scrutiny from a variety of consumer groups, the ABI’s 2014 Motor Conference will be a unique opportunity to gain valuable insight into the future direction of the market.

Confirmed speakers include:

• Rt. Hon. Chris Grayling, Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor
• Louise Ellman MP, Chair of the Transport Select Committee
• Paul Evans, incoming ABI Chairman and Group Chief Executive, AXA UK
• Otto Thoresen, Director General, Association of British Insurers
• Maurice Tulloch, CEO, UK & Ireland General Insurance, Aviva
• John O'Roarke, Managing Director, General Insurance, LV=
• Mike Holliday-Williams, Managing Director, Personal Lines, Direct Line Group
• Mary Creagh MP - Shadow Transport Secretary

• Heather Wheeler MP – Conservative Representative
• Simon Green, Head of General Insurance, FCA
• Craig Dickson, Head of Motor, DAC Beachcroft

Building on the success of the 2013 Conference, this year’s event will take place at the larger Grange Tower Bridge Hotel in London. The Conference will conclude with a drinks reception at 5pm.
