Background
The European Space Agency is hosting an industry workshop in ESA-ESRIN in Frascati, Italy on 23rd and 24th of February 2012.

This will be a unique gathering, bringing together colleagues from the Insurance and Reinsurance communities with the Earth Observation community to address real challenges that we face in the drive to realise the benefits of using EO information in global insurance processes and products.
