Opening Ceremony of the 16th World Chinese Insurance Conference Series Summits
Focusing on “Sincerity and Perseverance” to Build a Great, Enduring, and Respected Insurance Career
In 1996, driven by a sincere desire to create a platform for global Chinese insurance professionals to exchange and learn without language barriers or cultural divides, the “World Chinese Insurance Conference” was born. Since then, the conference has been held biennially, marking 30 glorious years.
Over the past three decades, the conference has been committed to building an international, professional, and high-level exchange platform, enhancing the professional competence and business wisdom of global Chinese financial and insurance professionals, earning the recognition and loyalty of countless insurance elites. As a key component of the conference, industry elites affectionately refer to the summits as “Little Huada.” They serve as the highest-level learning殿堂 for financial and insurance professionals nationwide and as an important platform for International Dragon Award IDA members to gather and exchange ideas in various cities.
During the opening ceremony address, Conference Chairperson Ms. Yin Shuming noted that rather than focusing on “whether the insurance path can go far,” we should focus on “how to go far.” The theme of the 16th World Chinese Insurance Conference Series Summits, “Sincerity and Perseverance,” is meant to encourage all insurance professionals: only by managing clients and deeply cultivating the industry with sincerity can the insurance career be great, enduring, and respected. Founding Chairperson Mr. Liang Tianlong stated in his business forum address: “The highest degree in life is lifelong learning.” He emphasized that by taking learning as the path and IDA as the goal, individuals, teams, and insurance institutions can better move toward high performance and long-termism.
Gathering Over 10,000 Insurance Elites to Spark Wisdom
Spanning two months, the 12 summits integrated the international perspective and practical experience of the financial and insurance industry. The agenda covered key topics such as AI literacy, global economic trends, client management, team leadership, talent cultivation, wealth inheritance, and insurance functions. Through forward-looking trend analyses and practical experience sharing from domestic and international financial and insurance instructors, the summits provided participants with a systematic learning and growth path.
The instructors offered insightful and eloquent perspectives, sparking wisdom. For example:
Influenced by social concepts, demographic structures, and other factors, the demand for commercial insurance has further expanded.
10x growth is easier than 2x growth, because 2x comes from “involution,” while 10x comes from switching tracks.
In team management, we should first “subtract”—focus on the right and worthwhile things—then “add” by continuously refining important matters.
100,000 in performance relies on diligence, 1 million relies on professional ability, and 10 million relies on breaking through social circles.
Meeting Again in 2027 for Continued Industry Peak Dialogue
Looking ahead, the World Chinese Insurance Conference Series Summits will continue to deepen industry exchanges, consolidate the wisdom of outstanding financial and insurance professionals, and further create a learning and growth event that combines forward-looking perspectives with practical value.
From April 16 to June 13, 2027, the 17th World Chinese Insurance Conference Series Summits, themed “Unity is Strength,” will reunite industry elites in 12 cities across China—in an era where uncertainty has become the norm, hoping that every ambitious professional in the industry will think together and work together to make the industry more prosperous, teams stronger, and individuals more outstanding. We look forward to continuing to move forward with financial and insurance elites amidst changes, writing a new chapter together.
