COVER Protection & Health Summit 2026

Turning insight into action

The leading event for protection and health professionals.

Frustration with slow innovation remains across the UK protection market, but change is underway. With the FCA’s Pure Protection Market Study set to conclude in Q3 and other regulatory motions such as the Keep Britain Working review driving momentum, the industry stands at a critical turning point. Against a backdrop of economic pressure and shifting customer behaviour, the industry must rethink how protection is designed, positioned, and delivered.

This November, join leading protection and health professionals as the industry comes together to address the challenges shaping future growth, from closing the protection gap and tackling affordability pressures, to improving customer understanding and rebuilding trust in protection.

As customer behaviour shifts towards lower cover levels and delayed decision-making, the role of protection within mortgage and wealth conversations has never been more important. Explore how advice journeys, engagement and emerging AI tools can help unlock better outcomes across the market.

Designed to be practical and forward-looking, the programme blends expert insight with real-world application, giving you the flexibility to focus on the topics that matter most. Expect dynamic sessions, honest discussion, and opportunities to engage directly with your peers.
