AIO Cancels Annual Conference, Now To Hold 2021

The executive committee of the African Insurance Organisation (AIO) has cancelled the 47th conference of its annual general assembly – scheduled to take place in Lagos, Nigeria in October – following an extraordinary meeting to discuss the current situation with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This decision is supported by the local organising committee which is the Nigerian Insurance Association.

The AIO said its 47th conference and general assembly will be held next year in Lagos at a date to be announced later. Delegates who had already registered may choose to be reimbursed or have their bookings carried forward to 2021.

The AIO conference was initially scheduled to take place from 31 May to 3 June but the AIO in its earlier decision had postponed the event until October after taking into consideration the measures and travel advisories imposed by governments around the world including Africa.
