The International Insurance Society (IIS) has unveiled the RGA Leaders of Tomorrow class of 2026, a global collective of emerging insurance executives selected for their leadership potential. Select participants from this cohort will share their insights at the 62nd Global Insurance Forum (GIF), scheduled for Nov. 15–16, 2026, at the Lloyd’s Building in London, U.K. This initiative aims to foster collaboration and professional growth among rising professionals in the insurance sector.

Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA) continues its role as the Gold Partner and sponsor of the Leaders of Tomorrow program. The initiative supports the development of insurance professionals by pairing them with senior executive mentors. These pairs work together to address key strategic issues and build a network of global peers. Josh Landau, President of the IIS, emphasized that the program prepares promising talent to lead the future of the industry through mentorship and collaboration.

Tony Cheng, President and Chief Executive Officer of RGA, highlighted the company's commitment to developing the next generation of insurance leaders. He noted that connecting participants with experienced mentors and valuable peer networks strengthens their leadership capabilities. As part of the program, each mentee conducts research and presents an original paper. One outstanding participant receives the RGA Leaders of Tomorrow Award, and select mentees will feature in a panel discussion titled "RGA Leaders of Tomorrow: Next Generation Leadership."

The 2026 Global Insurance Forum will explore the theme "Turning Volatility Into Value." The agenda includes several panel sessions focusing on industry challenges and opportunities, such as managing volatility as a strategy, scaling AI for enterprise advantage, and unlocking value through pension risk transfer. Other sessions will cover the new capital playbook for insurers and modernizing for stability in a volatile world.
