UAC Parramatta Market Exchange

The new venue, Rosehill Gardens (Racecourse) had 200 brokers and 96 exhibitors at the Underwriting Agencies Council Market Exchange in Parramatta.

The 5-hour event was alive with the hum of networking, productive exchanges and knowledge sharing. Attendees enjoyed being able to put faces to names, and many people said they didn’t realise there are so many new markets, and new agencies offering additional capacity.

Thank you to everyone who participated or attended to make this event such a success.
