Join iCAN and Aon for an evening that celebrates South Asian Heritage Month with honesty, warmth and ambition!
Join iCAN and Aon for an evening celebrating South Asian Heritage Month through honest conversation, cultural reflection and meaningful industry dialogue.
This special event will bring together professionals from across the insurance industry to explore themes including authentic leadership, cultural identity, representation and belonging within the workplace.
South Asian professionals represent a significant and growing presence across the insurance sector, yet senior representation remains disproportionately low. Throughout the evening, attendees will hear personal stories and perspectives exploring topics including cultural wellness, code-switching, visibility and the realities of navigating professional environments whilst remaining authentic to your identity.
The event will feature keynote and panel discussions with senior South Asian leaders from across and beyond the insurance market, alongside opportunities for networking, audience interaction and open conversation in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
What to expect:
A live panel discussion featuring senior South Asian leaders
Honest conversations around leadership, identity and workplace culture
Actionable insights on progression, visibility and representation
