IMIA Message from the IMIA Chairman, Oscar Treceño IMIA is constantly expanding its range of activities and international scope and welcomes new applications of experts in Engineering Insurance for membership. Through the support and contributions from its members I am pleased to report that IMIA continues to strengthen its knowledge base. In 2016, the 49 th annual IMIA conference took place in October in Doha, Qatar. 103 delegates from National Associations, Insurance and Reinsurance Companies as well as Associate Members (loss adjusters, brokers and lawyers) attended the conference. Working group papers were presented on topics changing the risk landscape ranging from Cost Overrun in Construction Projects to Engineering Insurers Perspective on Cyber Risk. Papers on special topics were presented by guest speakers and panel discussions and break out sessions dealt with actual challenges the Engineering Insurance market is faced with. Around 30 participants attended IMIA s 2016 Engineering Underwriting Academy, which took place in Singapore and for the first time in Asia. IMIA s website is a significant source of Engineering Insurance knowledge and is being constantly developed by adding new information about latest developments. An IMIA Newsletter is circulated periodically to members. IMIA supports and participates in the launch of market initiatives. In November 2016, IMIA s Cyber Risk Paper was presented in a seminar in London jointly organised by LEG and Opera.
