Insurance Day has made a series of 16 interviews available via open access. Twelve of the interviews were filmed during Rendez-Vous Monte Carlo, where the reinsurance industry’s major players have met annually for more than 50 years to discuss market developments, encourage strategic alliances and network. This year, more than 2,600 professionals from 80 countries were in attendance.
