Summer Connections on the Rooftop: iCAN Birmingham Brings the Community Together
iCAN joined forces with Beazley, Kennedys, and Phoenix Group to host an unforgettable rooftop networking event for the Birmingham and Midlands insurance community.
Set against the stunning city skyline on Beazley’s rooftop terrace, the evening brought together professionals from across the market for an uplifting night of connection, collaboration, and good summer vibes — complete with games, great food, and meaningful conversations.
Where Conversations Meet Community
From emerging talent to seasoned professionals across broking, underwriting, and claims, the event drew a fantastic cross-section of the industry. Our goal? To create an inclusive and relaxed space for genuine interactions — a place where new relationships are built and existing ones are strengthened.
With Hacky Sack games, Giant Jenga battles, and plenty of rooftop energy, attendees had the chance to unwind, laugh, and share stories with peers from across the region.
Ajay Mistry ACMA, Co-Founder of iCAN, reflected on the evening:
“It’s always amazing to see the Birmingham insurance community come together like this. The mix of new faces and familiar friends made it a really special evening — and fantastic to see the growth of iCAN Birmingham!”
Elevating Regional Voices
This event was another step forward in iCAN’s ongoing mission to amplify inclusion at a local level. By creating these regional spaces, we’re not only growing our network — we’re making diversity and cultural awareness part of the everyday experience across the insurance sector.
We’d like to give a huge shoutout to:
Beazley, for hosting us in their brilliant rooftop space
Kennedys and Phoenix Group, for their invaluable partnership and support
And everyone who attended and helped make the evening one to remember
As our Birmingham network continues to grow, we’re excited to bring more events, more opportunities, and more community-led moments to the Midlands and beyond.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a special evening. It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do — and how much stronger we are when we come together.
We’re looking forward to seeing you at our next event — and welcoming even more new faces into the iCAN community.
