What Insurance forums Leipzig does

Versicherungsforen Leipzig GmbH is a B2B knowledge-exchange and event platform serving the German-speaking insurance industry. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Leipzig, the company operates as a subsidiary of the LF Gruppe and maintains a network of more than 280 partner companies, primarily insurance carriers, brokers, and intermediaries in Germany and Austria. Its core offerings include the annual Forenpartnerschaft membership program, 32 specialized User Groups covering topics such as claims management, fraud detection, ESG, capital investment, and AI deployment, plus a calendar of major conferences (Messekongress IT, Schadenmanagement, Kundenmanagement), workshops, online courses, the Sommerakademie, and the annual we.Xplore Business Festival. The company does not operate a proprietary technology platform; instead it orchestrates in-person, hybrid, and virtual events using a standard tooling stack (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, GoToMeeting, Miro, Mural, Talque, Let's Get Digital) and distributes content through a blog, monthly newsletter, bi-weekly Themendossiers, studies, whitepapers, and the Versicherung 360 podcast.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring annual Forenpartnerschaft and User Group subscriptions, ticket-based event and conference participation, and sale of digital products (studies, whitepapers, infographics) on minimum 12-month contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set per individual partnership agreement. The company also operates the Versicherungsforen Wien and New Players Network sub-brands, extending its footprint to Austria and to insurtech / digital ecosystem participants respectively, and provides advisory services including market and trend analyses, project consulting, the Lösungsmanufaktur solution-development service, and TÜV product certification. GDPR compliance is fully documented, with external data protection handled by beyond compliant GmbH and managing directors Jens Ringel and Justus Lücke overseeing operations.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Reuters Events: Global B2B event organizer running major insurance industry conferences and summits (e.g., Reuters Events: Insurance). Directly comparable in delivering conferences, networking, and thought-leadership content to insurance executives worldwide.
• InsuranceERM: Specialist insurance risk management media and events business producing the Insurance Risk & Capital conference and related content. Comparable as a focused insurance-industry knowledge and convening platform targeting risk, capital, and regulatory themes.
• InsurTech Connect: Flagship insurtech conference and community (held annually in Las Vegas). Directly comparable as an insurance-industry convening and content platform, with a stronger insurtech/technology emphasis than Versicherungsforen's broader carrier-focused scope.
• Digital Insurance: B2B events and content platform serving the digital, innovation, and insurtech arms of the insurance industry. Comparable as a community and conference organizer focused on insurance transformation themes.
• Qorus (formerly Efma): Paris-headquartered membership and innovation community for insurance and banking, running conferences, awards, and benchmarking programs. Comparable as a membership-based insurance/BFSI community platform with events, content, and peer-exchange services.
• ICMIF: International Cooperative and Mutual Insurance Federation — a global membership organization running events, research, and knowledge exchange for mutual and cooperative insurers. Comparable as a membership-driven insurance community and conference organizer.

Broad incumbents

• Informa: Global B2B events, publishing, and intelligence group operating large-scale insurance, financial-services, and professional conferences. Comparable as a scaled incumbent with overlapping event operations capabilities, though far broader in scope than Versicherungsforen's insurance-only niche.

Others

• GDV (Gesamtverband der Deutschen Versicherungswirtschaft): German insurance industry trade association. Closely related as a convening and lobbying body for the same German insurance market that Versicherungsforen serves, though operating as a non-for-profit association rather than a commercial events/membership business.
• Oliver Wyman: Global management consulting firm with a large insurance practice that publishes industry research, runs client events, and convenes insurance executives. Comparable as an insurance thought-leadership and convening participant, though fundamentally a consulting firm rather than an events/membership platform.
• Talque: Event management and networking platform used by Versicherungsforen itself for professional events. Comparable as an ecosystem participant and potential enabler — providing attendee interaction and content delivery infrastructure that complements Versicherungsforen's offerings.
