Insure Equality

08/22/2024

We regret to inform you of an important update regarding the Insure Equality Summit 2024. Due to recent changes in our leadership and organizational structure, we have decided to postpone the Summit. This decision was not taken lightly, and will allow us to reconfigure the event to ensure that it meets the high standards we strive for in serving our participants.

Our Board is committed to delivering a Summit that truly reflects our mission and provides an exceptional experience to all stakeholders. We will provide further details, including the new date as soon as possible. Your understanding and continued support during this transition are greatly appreciated.

We look forward to reconnecting with you soon and to a successful Summit in the near future. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].

Kind regards,

Insure Equality Board
