About LACE
‘The Litmus Analytical Connections Evening’ will take place on the third Wednesday of every month. Please put this recurring date in your diary. We will be inviting speakers to make key presentations on items of interest after which there will be an opportunity to network. There will be an open bar from 5pm. While we are sure all attendees will observe their own organisational guidelines for discussions with third parties we would stress that The Chatham House Rule ALSO applies.
If you wish to extend an invitation to colleagues and contacts then we would be delighted but please advise us of their contact details and role. All are welcome but the presentations and overall invitation list focuses on those with interest in insurance analysis and ratings, including credit and equity analysts, re/insurance buyers, Finance Directors, CRO’s CUO’s, IR professionals, sector investors, and others involved in market security, or re/insurer financial management, reporting or governance.
