Events

HZ Insurance Forum

As a sponsor of an expert lunch, you get the unique opportunity to discuss a previously agreed industry-relevant topic with up to 25 people during the lunch. You will not only act as host, but also as moderator and source of inspiration.

As host of the expert lunch, you will also be included in the official event programme and can present and profile yourself as an independent expert in terms of content.

With the Gold Partnership, you already enjoy a comprehensive logo presence in all communication measures before and during the event. The quality of the entire event is transferred to the Expert Lunch as the official programme item. This offers you the opportunity to engage in an intensive professional exchange with the participants and to reach your guests in an individual and targeted manner.

HZ Insurance Health Summit

The Swiss healthcare system is currently the subject of heated debate: Health insurance premiums, the digitalisation backlog, staff shortages and the role of hospitals are viewed very differently – especially when it comes to the question of who causes or could change what. In order to defuse this particular situation, dialogue between all parties involved is crucial. The situation is highly complex: 26 responsible cantons, cost pressure, society’s extremely high need for security and political and economic interests. This does not lead directly to the benefit of the patient and can only be resolved through constructive dialogue.

This is why strategic decision-makers, experienced practitioners, innovative new thinkers and those responsible for financial and legal frameworks are needed to develop realistic yet inspired ideas for the future.

We are bringing them all together at this new event – independently and with the neutral platform of HZ Insurance. Play an active role in developing the topic and contribute your expertise and visibility to this pioneering day for the healthcare industry.

HZ Insurance Horizon Day

HZ Insurance offers a new and innovative format that provides a platform for forward-looking decision-makers in the insurance industry, progressive InsurTechs and digital pioneers.

The aim is to connect successful insurance leaders with disruptive startups and hyperscalers and bring together potential investors, customers and partners.

The event goes beyond strategic discussions and fleshes out topics in practical formats. It includes interactive elements, international impulses, examples from outside the industry and customer opinions. The inspiring atmosphere in the historically modern location contributes to the positive experience of the event.

Innovationspreis

The next specialist event will take place in November 2024. The Innovation Award is looking for a suitable main sponsor.

The Swiss Insurance Innovation Award honours outstanding innovative insurance products, services as well as processes and instruments and thus recognises effective and pioneering projects from the insurance industry.

The three most important goals of this award are to offer insurance companies and brokers a platform to:

  • Demonstrate that the insurance industry is an exciting sector that offers solutions with a high level of innovation
  • Position themselves as innovative providers for their clients
  • To present itself as an attractive employer both internally and externally

Loose supplement

Technical conditions
FormatMinimum: 200 x 105 mm
Maximum: 310 x 230 mm
QualityThe supplements must be easy to machine process and must not stick to one another, whether due to moisture or static charge. For special finishes, samples must be used to check the technical feasibility in advance.
Cover wrap/flapThe design of cover wraps with a shortened flap has to be based on the supplement format. The flap must only be shortened on one side, have a minimum width of 50 mm and be no more than 80 mm shorter than the overall product width. If the cover page is shortened, the product is positioned the other way round in the carrier product for technical reasons.
LayoutSupplements can only be processed if they have a parallel, roll, closed gate or cross fold. Zig-zag and open gate folds cannot be processed. All supplements must have a closed edge. Mistargeting and placement errors of 2 – 3 % are standard within the industry.
Booking/Cancellation5 weeks before publication
Dummy versionThe final acceptance (good to go) requires a binding sample to be provided on time
SchedulingFor very thin supplements, duplicate placements cannot be precluded
Third-party adsFor brochures containing third-party ads, +20 % of the gross price for a 1/1 page will be charged per ad
PositioningPositioning requests will be considered insofar as possible depending on the magazine structure and the properties of the supplement. However, there is no entitlement to mandatory insertion points. It is only possible to insert supplements in specific places on agreement.
