//BestWire// - AM Best will exhibit at the Managing General Agents’ Association’s (MGAA) annual conference, which will take place 7 July 2026 at the Business Design Centre in London.

During the full-day event, AM Best representatives will be available at exhibit booth 4 to discuss its rating and assessment services, including its Performance Assessments for Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprises (DUAE). This industry-first tool provides a framework for differentiating among DUAEs, which is a blanket term to capture managing general agents (MGA), coverholders and other similar entities. A Performance Assessment helps insurers make more-informed decisions when choosing underwriting partners.

Nick Charteris-Black, managing director, market development, EMEA; William Mills, senior director, market development, EMEA; Roisin Gallagher, associate director, market development; and Naz Botea, financial analyst, EMEA all of AM Best, will attend the event. Delegates interested in meeting with AM Best to understand more about the rating agency, its role in the insurance industry and the resources it offers to insurance professionals, including research and insurance insights, can schedule a meeting by contacting Charlotte Shoesmith, executive assistant and events coordinator, AM Best, at charlotte.shoesmith@ambest.com.
