The third global conference on the History of Risk and Insurance

Event date:
3. - 4.07.2025, All day
The conference will be held as a two-day event, on 3–4 July 2025, and will be organized by the Department of Risk and Insurance of the SGH Warsaw School of Economics with the cooperation of the Department of Insurance of the Poznań University of Economics and Business as the co-organizer.

This international conference follows the history of the two predecessor conferences in Seville in 2019 and Basel in 2022. This third conference investigates insurance as a crucial element of social development, economic advances, globalization of financial services, and capitalism in general. It discusses risk and how we have coped with it from the early beginning of human society to the era of artificial intelligence, locally, regionally, and globally, with a closer look at the Central and Eastern European regions. This global lens invites the combination of the wide global perspective with micro-historical perceptions. The conference combines business professionals and academics from around the world.

Relevant topics include but are not limited to the diffusion of marine insurance in 19th century East Asia, insurance market developments, insurance and financial literacy education, the shift of market operations from analog, via digital towards artificial intelligence perspectives, and the history of insurance intermediaries.
