On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) for the 23^rd AIRDC in Thailand, in collaboration with the Thailand Insurance Industry, I warmly invite you to participate and share your valuable experience with us at the 23^rd Conference of the Association of Insurers and Reinsurers of Developing Countries (23^rd AIRDC) from October 6 to 9, 2024, at the InterContinental Bangkok, Thailand.

This marks the inaugural AIRDC event in Thailand, and the Organizing Committee has dedicated considerable efforts to ensure it becomes a memorable occasion. I extend gratitude to the Thai General Insurance Association, the Thai Life Assurance Association, the Asian Reinsurance Corporation, and all those responsible for bringing this event to fruition amidst the pandemic. What is certain is that the world will never be the same. The chosen theme for the congress, "Creating Opportunity Amid Challenges & Turmoil (CO-ACT)," resonates deeply with the concerns of stakeholders in the insurance industries of developing economies regarding current trends. These gatherings promise to provide an optimal platform for all participants to enhance their understanding of prevailing key trends and relevant issues in the insurance industry.

We are genuinely delighted to have assembled influential figures from both developing countries and the global insurance fraternity, alongside esteemed representatives from complementary financial organizations. I am confident that this 3-day conference will prove to be an exciting amalgamation of networking, learning, exploration, strategic discussions, and entertainment. With great anticipation and genuine excitement, I look forward to the pleasure of meeting you at the 23^rd AIRDC in Bangkok, Thailand.
