iCAN Birmingham: A Magical Diwali Celebration
The iCAN Birmingham Festival of Lights Diwali event was an unforgettable evening of culture, connection, and community, proudly hosted in partnership with Marsh and Allianz.
We came together to celebrate the spirit of Diwali, lighting up the Birmingham insurance market with joy, unity, and vibrant festivities.
A Night to Remember
The event was a testament to the incredible work of our Birmingham Lead, Jimmy Kumar, and Co-Lead, Ana Gomes-Freire ACII, who brought together the local insurance community for a celebration that was both meaningful and impactful.
The evening was filled with highlights that truly embodied the essence of Diwali:
Traditional Bhangra Dancing: The rhythmic beats and high-energy moves set the tone for a night of celebration and joy.
Delicious Indian Cuisine: Guests indulged in flavorful dishes that showcased the richness of Indian culture and tradition.
Festive Atmosphere: The warmth, laughter, and connections made during the evening reflected the core values of Diwali—light, renewal, and togetherness.
Events like this wouldn’t be possible without the support of our amazing partners, talented performers, dedicated caterers, and everyone who attended. Each of you played a role in making this celebration a huge success, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we reflect on this incredible evening, we’re filled with excitement for the future of iCAN Birmingham. With such a strong foundation of community and collaboration, we can’t wait to see what 2025 holds for our growing network in the region.
Thank you again to Marsh, Allianz, and all our supporters for helping us create a night to remember. Here’s to many more moments of connection and celebration ahead!
