So are we.The CILA Claims Professionals' Conference returns to the ICC Birmingham on Thursday 24 September 2026 - and this year marks a pivotal moment in its evolution.Shaped by loss adjusters and built around the expertise at the heart of the claim, this year's conference opens its doors to the wider claims community. Because when complex losses occur, the work doesn't stop with the adjuster - it extends across handlers, risk managers, legal specialists and many more. Bringing more of that community into the same room means stronger collaboration, sharper decision-making, and more consistent, well-informed claim resolution.As CILA prepares to become the Chartered Institute of Loss Adjusting, the 2026 conference is the live expression of that shift - a forum that unites professionals across the claims landscape in a shared commitment to fair policyholder outcomes.Who is this conference for?This event is built for professionals across the full claims value chain, including:• Loss adjusters• Loss assessors• Claims handlers and claims managers (insurer and TPA side)• Risk managers and corporate risk teams• Legal advisors, dispute resolution and coverage specialists• Restoration, reinstatement and supply chain professionals• Cyber response and technical specialists• Brokers and MGA claims teams• Finance and forensic accounting professionalsIf you are part of the claims ecosystem - whatever your role - this is your conference.The programmeAt the heart of this year's conference are real-world case study sessions - behind-the-scenes accounts of how some of the most significant claims of recent years were handled, investigated and resolved.
