Welcome to the IUMI 2026
Rotterdam Conference!
Rotterdam is home to Europe’s largest seaport and stands as one of the world’s most vital gateways for international trade and maritime commerce. With cargo transshipment of 436 million tons of goods per year, over 30,000 sea-going vessels and 100,000 inland vessels calling at its port annually, Rotterdam is at the very heart of global shipping, logistics, and marine services.
The city is home to a thriving maritime ecosystem with shipping companies, brokers, insurers, and a broad range of service providers who play a central role in international trade and risk management. Known as a hub of innovation and sustainability, Rotterdam is not only steeped in maritime tradition but also leading the way in shaping the future of the global maritime industry.
We are delighted to host the IUMI Annual Conference in this vibrant port city from 20–23 September 2026 at the Postillion Congress Centre at the World Trade Centre in Rotterdam. This flagship event is the world’s largest specialist marine insurance conference, uniting global industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders to share knowledge, debate challenges, and explore opportunities for the sector.
Join us in Rotterdam, as we exchange ideas, strengthen relationships both longstanding and new, and explore opportunities shaping the future of our industry in one of Europe’s most dynamic and globally connected cities.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Netherlands in September 2026.
