Dear business partners,

Welcome to Baden-Baden 2018!

It's my first time joining the event and I'm very much looking forward to the meetings.

In my eyes, Baden-Baden is much more than just talking about renewals. It is about renewing and deepening our trusted and long-term partnerships with you in, what are currently, challenging times. The future success of our industry will depend on the strength of our partnerships and our ability to combine the knowledge and capabilities of each in order to develop innovative solutions.

Nobody else is able to provide society and individuals with stability and continuity in an otherwise uncertain world as we do. Nevertheless, we must adapt our products and solutions to the changing needs and wishes of customers. Technology and digitalization gives us powerful instruments at hand to successfully deliver on our promise and to make our industry ready for the future.

Challenging times are a proof point for the value of a partnership. We are committed to help our clients better navigate today’s uncertainties and achieve long-term success.

I'm looking forward to welcoming you at our headquarters in Baden-Baden and to enjoying with you our "Swiss Re Monday" on 22 October.

Russell Higginbotham
Chief Executive Officer Reinsurance EMEA, Swiss Re

We will start in the evening with an easy going apero at 19.30. Watch out – with the cow bell ringing at 21.30, the Red. White. Swiss Party starts. Let us surprise you.

Come and join us if and whenever you can: For cocktails, for the full evening or just an after-dinner drink.

Of course you're welcome to bring along your colleagues or extend the invitation to them if you can't attend.
