30th Anniversary
During the last 30 years the conference has served as global meeting point of claims professionals in the Energy insurance industry for exchange of ideas and experiences. Since its modest beginning in 1996 with just over 100 attendees, the Lillehammer Energy Claims Conference had steadily grown to become the premier energy insurance market conference globally.
Energy companies and their contractors buy insurance cover with the promise of monetary and practical assistance when disaster hits. The Lillehammer conference aims at ensuring that insureds, claims practitioners and external service providers are aligned ahead of critical situations. Untangling the claims process and enlightening its challenges are paramount to the quality of insurance services purchased and provided.
Agenda
The agenda for the LECC 2026 conference is devised to address a broad variety of topics of relevance to insurance practitioners in the international energy insurance market.
LECC 2026 will address the current state of the energy insurance markets, changes to the EED form, Carbon Capture, Offshore renewables claims and cover issues and allow conference participants hands-on claims experience. Speakers at the conference will also address major legal developments relevant for insurance practitioners and discuss ongoing changes in energy business and regulatory environment in Brazil.
The committee always aims to reflect opinions and feedback gained from previous conferences.
In-person
Equally to the professional take-aways from the conference, the relaxed venue is renowned for its excellent atmosphere for networking across the business categories of attending professionals. Digital webinars are excellent for information sharing and basic training courses, however, have a long way to go to replace in-person meetings.
The conference is the leading international gathering of underwriters, claims adjusters, insureds, brokers and other service providers involved in claims arising from activities which are commonly referred to as offshore energy risks (which extend to related onshore activities and include well and drilling operations irrespective of location).
For over five years the conference has attracted capacity attendances - some 345 delegates in 2015 for the 20th Anniversary Conference. In recent years participants from America, Angola, Australia, Bermuda, Canada, Denmark, Dubai, France, Germany, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, The Netherlands, Norway, Qatar, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the U.K., Venezuela, Vietnam and elsewhere, have clearly justify the conference’s claim to be the premier international energy claims forum.
Attendance at the Conference is, in general, restricted to representatives of underwriters, claims adjusters, insureds, claims brokers and other service providers directly involved in claims arising from offshore energy risks. The Conference is, in general, not open to market placement brokers nor professionals outside the claims process. To encourage an atmosphere of open debate and participation, opinions expressed at the event are considered personal to the speakers and members of the media are excluded.
Delegates are always encouraged though Q&A and commentary sessions to play an active part in the Conferences’ interactive programmes.
