RESERVE YOUR SEAT NOW

Please join us at our London office for a free, one-day training workshop exploring the key risks associated with data centre development projects, along with the insurance solutions available to help mitigate them.


Our structured training workshop will address:

  • How data centre project risks change throughout the development lifecycle;
  • How your contracting approach and the nuances of your project(s) affects those risks;
  • What insurance solutions may be available to help manage financial protection against these risks; What these policies typically cover, and who they are designed to protect? What is standard practice within the data centre industry? How and when should these be considered within your contracting strategy?
  • Which insurances and other associated documents may be required to support lenders’ conditions and help establish a bankable insurance programme and;
  • What the future holds for the data centre developments and how this is expected to affect the project risks and insurance landscape?

This workshop is targeted at a beginner to intermediary level to ensure accessibility, but we would suggest that all interested parties will find value in this structured approach. There will, of course, also be opportunities to connect with other attendees performing similar roles within the data sector industry.

Places will be limited by capacity so please sign up early to ensure your attendance.
