CONGRESS FOR UNDERWRITERS

       More than 11,000 life insurance underwriters from around the world are expected to attend the 12th Asia Pacific Life Insurance Council Congress next year.
       Impact Exhibition Management Co has signed an agreement with the Thai Life Underwriters Association to organise the congress, which is aimed at promoting professionalism of financial advisory services in the region.
       The event is scheduled for May 5-7 at Impact Muang Thong Thani.
       The congress once again returns to Thailand as the largest life insurance congress in the world. The Kingdom was the host for the Sixth APLIC Congress in 2001.
       Paul Kanjanapas, managing director of the organiser, said yesterday on behalf of the official venue, that the collaboration to host this world-premier conference proves yet again Thailand's expertise in hosting major international events and as the preferred Mice destination despite the global economic uncertainty.
       Montri Saeng-Uraiporn, adviser to the Thai Life Underwriters Association and the organising chairman of the congress, said the event is expected to generate a considerable amount for the Thai economy. The last congress in 2001 contributed Bt1 billion in tourism receipts.
       The congress under the theme "Change Lives, Forever; Live a Good Life by Changing Lives of Others", will offer the opportunity to enlighten the career path of life insurance and financial services practitioners from the region.
       The key speakers include international well-known professionals such as Norman Levine, Ed Deutshlander, Shan McDuffee, Phillip Richards and Medhi Fakharzadeh.
