On April 16 and 17, 2025, Casablanca will once again become the beating heart of Africa’s insurance industry as it hosts the 11th edition of the Rendez-vous de Casablanca de l’Assurance. Backed by the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the event has grown into a major gathering point for insurance professionals from across the continent.
This year’s theme zeroes in on one of the most pressing shifts in the industry: the rise of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. Under the banner “New Technologies and AI: What Opportunities for Insurance?”, the event aims to spark critical dialogue on how these tools are transforming every layer of the insurance world—from customer experience to risk assessment and beyond.
Each edition of the conference shines a spotlight on a specific country or region to deepen collaboration within Africa’s insurance ecosystem. This time, Ghana will take center stage as the guest of honor, reflecting a growing emphasis on South-South cooperation and the strengthening of intra-African ties.
Over a day and a half of high-level discussions, thought leaders and top experts—both from within the continent and internationally—will dive into the disruptive impact of AI on the insurance value chain. They’ll explore how machine learning is reshaping regulatory frameworks, revolutionizing the client-insurer relationship, and pushing the industry toward highly tailored solutions. From personalized health and auto coverage to data-driven climate risk modeling, nothing is off the table.
Attendees can expect a packed agenda filled with keynote speeches, deep-dive panels, and dynamic plenary sessions. Some of the key questions on the table include: How can the traditional model of risk pooling adapt to an era of hyper-personalization? What role can big data play in forecasting environmental threats? And how are Insurtech startups accelerating the digital transformation of legacy systems?
But the event isn’t just about theory. Organizers are placing a strong emphasis on real-world applications, showcasing the latest innovations already being used by insurers and startups alike. Ethical challenges, regulatory tensions, and the broader economic implications of AI will also be front and center.
Beyond the content, the Rendez-vous de Casablanca has established itself as a key networking hub for the African insurance sector. It’s a rare chance for decision-makers, entrepreneurs, investors, institutions, and regulators to connect, collaborate, and co-create the future of the industry.
With this 11th edition, the Moroccan Federation of Insurance (FMA) is doubling down on its vision: to position Morocco as a leading platform for strategic thinking and innovation in insurance across the African continent.
