International Association of Claims Professionals

What International Association of Claims Professionals does

The International Association of Claims Professionals (IACP) is a professional membership association serving senior claims leaders in the global insurance and reinsurance industry. Founded in 1970 as the Surplus Lines Claims Association and rebranded in 2009 to reflect its international scope, the organization represents 250+ member company representatives across 30+ countries, with governance drawn from senior executives at firms including Aon, Allied World, Brit Insurance, Allianz, and Swiss Re.

IACP's core offerings revolve around recurring in-person conferences (US, European, and future Bermuda editions), a Webinar Library, Video Library, Member Directory, Document Library, and the Coverage Corner educational content series produced in partnership with BatesCarey LLP. It also runs leadership development programs including the Future Leaders Award, the Vince Donohue Award, and a Women's Networking Group created with The Connected Leaders. Technology infrastructure is limited to ClubExpress for membership management and standard webinar/video hosting; no proprietary platform or technology stack anchors the business.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: tiered membership dues priced from $975 to $2,750 per member, conference and event registration fees, and event sponsorships spanning Diamond through entry tiers. Diamond sponsors include Davies, Swiss Re, Allianz, Holborn, Ascot, Liberty Mutual, Allied World, Clyde & Co, and GallagherRe. The go-to-market model is community-led and event-driven, with membership acquisition occurring primarily through board relationships, conference participation, and peer referral within the E&S and broader commercial claims community.

Direct peers

• PLUS (Professional Liability Underwriting Society): Member organization for professional liability underwriters, claims professionals, and risk managers. Comparable in serving specialty insurance lines with conferences, education, and networking; covers claims-adjacent professionals in the E&S space that IACP also targets.
• CPCU Society (The Institutes): Member-led society for Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters, providing continuing education, networking, and industry conferences for insurance professionals. Comparable professional-association model with a credentialing-adjacent audience that overlaps with IACP's claims-leader membership.
• International Claim Association (ICA): U.S.-based association for senior claim executives at insurance companies, with a similarly narrow senior-claims focus. Highly comparable to IACP on member profile, conference model, and industry function, though more U.S.-centric.
• Claims and Litigation Management Alliance (CLM): Large U.S. claims and litigation management organization serving insurance carriers, corporate claim departments, and litigation managers. Comparable in providing conferences, education, and networking, but broader in scope to include litigation management alongside claims leadership.
• London Market Insurance Brokers' Association (LMIBA): U.K.-based association for Lloyd's and London Market brokers with networking events and educational programming. Comparable professional-body model in the same E&S/London Market ecosystem that IACP's European Conference serves.
• Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS): Global association for risk professionals with annual conference, education, and chapter-based networking. Operates a similar dues-plus-conference model with broader risk-management scope; overlaps with IACP at the buyer/insurer interface.
• Reinsurance Association of America (RAA): U.S. trade association for reinsurers with conferences and educational programming. Directly comparable in targeting reinsurance executives, with significant overlap in member companies (Swiss Re, Munich Re, RGA are common to both RAA and IACP Diamond Sponsors).

Broad incumbents

• The Institutes (Risk and Insurance Knowledge Group): Largest insurance industry educator and credentialing body, offering CPCU and other designations. Broader in scope and scale than IACP, with overlapping audiences in senior insurance professionals; provides conferences and content that partially substitute for IACP offerings.

Regional players

• Airmic: U.K. association for risk managers and insurance buyers, with annual conference and education programs. Comparable association structure and conference-driven engagement, but primarily serves buyers rather than insurer-side claims leaders, and is U.K.-centric.
• Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF): Professional body for the insurance industry in Australia and New Zealand, offering education, certifications, and events. Comparable professional-association model, but regional to Oceania and focused more on underwriting and broking than claims leadership.
