Event Details

Today, our world is more volatile than ever – overloaded by data and compounded by complexity and uncertainty. Important decisions are often being made without the right information, the right insight and therefore without the right advice.

The Aon Insights Series Asia 2024 will map out the core Risk and People issues impacting organisations and the critical decisions that leaders and their teams grapple with day-to-day. Bringing together global subject matter experts, industry thought leaders and senior decision makers, the Aon Insights Series Asia 2024 aims to give you the clarity and confidence to make better decisions.

The Aon Insights Series Asia 2024 will take place on Tuesday, 1 October 2024 at The St. Regis Singapore.
