Join the Dive In Festival 2024 in Luxembourg: building a sustainable future in the insurance sector

As the world continues to evolve, so does the insurance sector. Embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is not just a necessity, but a strategic priority for building stronger businesses and resilient industries. In line with this mission, we are proud to support the Dive In Festival 2024, the world’s largest diversity and inclusion event. In 2024, the festival will return from 24th to 26th September, celebrating its 10th anniversary with the theme “A Sustainable Future: The Next 10 Years.”

This year’s festival promises to be an unmissable event, featuring over 130 sessions across 48 countries. Participants are invited to engage in thought-provoking discussions, learn from global leaders, and help shape the future of the insurance sector by making diversity and inclusion a cornerstone of long-term success.

What is the Dive In Festival?

The Dive In Festival is a global movement aimed at fostering inclusive workplace cultures in the insurance sector. It empowers professionals at all levels to realize their full potential by raising awareness of the business case for diversity and promoting meaningful action in areas such as gender equality, social mobility, mental health, racial equity, disability inclusion, and LGBTQ+ rights.

In an era of unprecedented change, from climate risk to technological disruption, the insurance industry must lead by example, showing that inclusivity is key to attracting top talent and remaining competitive. The Dive In Festival offers tools, guidance, and events throughout the year to help businesses and individuals make diversity a reality.
