iCAN Dublin Launch in partnership with Gallagher and AXA Ireland

Join iCAN, Gallagher and AXA Ireland for our official Dublin launch!

Join us for the official launch of iCAN Dublin, bringing together professionals from across Ireland’s insurance industry and wider professional services community.

iCAN, the Insurance Cultural Awareness Network, is an industry-wide network focused on improving access, opportunity, inclusion and career progression for diverse and underrepresented talent across insurance.

Across the UK and New York, iCAN runs events, mentoring, career development initiatives, industry programmes and networking opportunities designed to help people build their careers, expand their networks and access new opportunities.

Following the success of our established communities across London, Birmingham, Bristol, Ipswich, Manchester, Leeds and New York, we’re excited to launch in Dublin and begin building a locally led network for professionals across Ireland.

In partnership with AXA Ireland and Gallagher, the evening will bring together leaders and professionals from across the market for a keynote, panel discussion and networking.

The conversation will explore:

Career progression and overcoming barriers
Building confidence, visibility and leadership
The importance of role models and representation
How mentoring and sponsorship can support progression
Creating a stronger sense of belonging at work
Building professional networks that create opportunity

The event is open to professionals at all career stages, with a particular focus on the experiences and opportunities of diverse and underrepresented talent across the industry.

What to expect:

A keynote exploring career, leadership and opportunity
A panel discussion featuring perspectives from across the Irish market
Practical insight on progression, confidence and overcoming barriers
Opportunities to meet and connect with professionals from across the industry
Drinks, canapés and networking following the main session

Most importantly, this event is not intended to be a one-off. It marks the start of the iCAN Dublin community, creating ongoing opportunities for connection, development, mentoring and collaboration across the Irish insurance market.
