History
The Pacific Insurance Conference traces its origins back to an informal meeting at the old Imperial Hotel in Tokyo in the fall of 1958, when several insurance executives and academics met and discussed the desirability of establishing an international insurance organization to conduct seminars for Pacific Rim-based insurance executives, educators, and regulatory authorities. The initial objectives were to exchange ideas and information and to address and solve common problems.
The first Pacific Insurance Conference was held in 1963 at the campus of the University of Hawaii. It was attended by 47 life insurance company executives and university professors from six countries.
Today, as one of the world’s premier insurance conferences for industry executives, PIC not only provides an opportunity for domestic and multinational insurers to exchange information, but also helps senior insurance and other financial executives gain insight into issues concerning future business and economic development in the 21st century.
In 2019, PIC joined The Institutes Risk and Insurance Knowledge Group as an affiliate. The Institutes is the premier knowledge provider for the risk management and insurance industry.
