With the 15th SIRC just two weeks away, and cyber risks becoming all pervasive, the Organising Committee has decided to add a Special Keynote by Mr Peter Hacker, Co-founder and Partner of Distinction.Global, on “Silent Cyber Risks – the Ticking Time Bomb” on Tuesday, 30 October from 11.30am to 12.00noon.

Delegate registration has crossed the 900-mark for the fourth consecutive conference, which firmly entrenches SIRC’s status as the leading insurance and reinsurance event in Asia.
