Meet the Market Day 2025 event in Dublin – a great success!

The much-anticipated Meet the Market Day 2025, held on Thursday, 9th October at the prestigious RDS in Dublin, brought together the key players in the Irish insurance industry for a day of valuable networking and an opportunity to discuss the latest trends and development impacting the marketplace. With over 90 suppliers from across the market in attendance, the event once again reaffirmed its status as the premier gathering for Irish Insurance professionals.

Optis Insurance, a leading Lloyd’s Broker and specialist MGA attracted substantial interest from brokers and industry representatives. Positioned in the heart of the action, the Optis team – led by CEO Frankie McCague – engaged directly with brokers and other market participants, offering insights into their extensive portfolio of insurance solutions and innovative digital trading platform.

Attendees had the opportunity to explore how Optis supports brokers in navigating complex risks and accessing tailored products. From Casualty and Property to Professional Risks, Optis’s solutions, all backed by A rated capacity continue to set the company apart. Our refreshed digital platform, designed for ease of use in placing straightforward risks, generated significant excitement, as did the company’s direct access to the key Lloyd’s and London markets for more complex, customised placements.

The day provided brokers with the chance to not only expand their business networks but also to explore how their partnership with Optis including access to its cutting-edge trading technologies and deep market expertise can provide them with a competitive edge in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

“We’re thrilled with the positive response we received from brokers and industry partners at Meet the Market Day,” said CEO Frankie McCague. “It’s clear that there’s a strong demand for innovative and flexible solutions in this evolving market, and we’re proud to support brokers with the tools and resources they need to succeed.”
