The BDMA Conference is back!

The BDMA Conference 2024 returns to the East Midlands Conference Centre and will take place on 26th and 27th June 2024. 

The theme of the conference is: “25 Years of Innovation: Honouring our past, and embracing our future”.

The year 2024 is a significant one for the BDMA as we celebrate our 25th anniversary.  This exciting birthday marks 25 years of giving the damage management industry a voice. From a series of meetings between representatives of some of the main damage management companies and its launch at Lloyds of London on 1st December 1999, the BDMA has come a long way.

The 2024 conference will showcase and celebrate BDMA’s 25-year journey and examine trends in the market to consider what the future might hold. The event promises to be our biggest and best yet.

BDMA AGM 2021

The BDMA AGM took place on 25th November 2021.



BDMA WEBINAR 2021: SETTING GOALS AND DELIVERING THEM WITH AGILITY

Introducing our ‘Setting goals and delivering them with agility’ webinar

Creating strategic yet actionable plans is hard enough when you are reasonably confident about the macro environment – the economy, politics, cultural shifts and clear about the micro factors such as customer stability, internal resource etc. Or you simply do what most organisations do – take last year’s plan and budget and add 10%!

How do you create worthwhile plans right now when the only constant is change? Why make a plan at all when it will probably look different next month? How will the removal of the furlough scheme impact you in the short-term, and what do you need to do to assure employee relations remain strong?

In this session, we explored what a good plan looks like and what you need to do to agilely respond to the ever-changing market, while remaining on track. This one hour webinar was chaired by John Thompson, BDMA Chairman and the headline speaker was Cate Russell, Chief Executive at Pilgrims Hospices. Cate and the panel discussed how to set achievable goals and then deliver them with agility.

The webinar took place on Friday 15th January at 1pm on Zoom.


BDMA AGM 2020

Our AGM took place on 26th November at 2pm via Zoom.


BDMA WEBINAR 2020: PERFORMING UNDER PRESSURE

Introducing our ‘Performing Under Pressure’ webinar

COVID-19 presents challenges to our resilience, mental health and performance. In this webinar we explained how you can manage these challenges in the current claims landscape, along with identifying specific marginal gains for better task focus. This one hour webinar was chaired by Simon Ford, BDMA Chairman and the headline speaker was Dr Phil Hopley – MD and Consultant Psychiatrist at Cognacity.

As well as Dr Phil Hopley explaining how we can overcome the psychological challenges of COVID-19, our expert panel discussed their experiences of COVID-19 within the wider insurance industry.

The webinar took place on Friday 14th August at 12pm on Zoom.
