THE CONFERENCE
Taking on Risk: Building Resilience Together, brought together speakers and panellists from across government, industry and the community for a focused day on reducing risk and supporting insurance accessibility.
Discussions highlighted the growing scale of natural hazard risk, the need for stronger coordination and planning, and the importance of sustained investment in resilience to support communities and the wider economy.
In an election year, we also heard from political leaders on their approaches to managing risk. The discussions reinforced the importance of strong, practical and enduring leadership to help build more resilient communities and maintain access to insurance in the years ahead.

CONFERENCE THEME
Taking on Risk: Building Resilience Together
The 2026 ICNZ Conference theme, Taking on Risk: Building Resilience Together, challenges all sectors to move from awareness to action in responding to New Zealand’s growing natural hazard risks.
It will focus on how homeowners, government, councils, the private sector, and communities can take concrete steps to reduce risk, strengthen resilience, and ensure that insurance remains accessible and sustainable in a changing climate.
