InsurTech NY

Auto insurance has long been one of the most difficult areas for carriers to manage profitably. When loss trends shift, claims complexity rises, repair costs increase, or operational friction builds, even strong books can come under pressure.

In this live webinar, Samsung Electronics America and InsurTech NY will bring together insurance and technology leaders to discuss what can be learned from underperforming auto books and the claims environments behind them.

The conversation will focus on practical lessons from messy claims, books running above a 100% loss ratio, and the processes and tools that can help teams improve performance. We’ll also explore how field experience and mobile technology can support better communication, documentation, workflow visibility, and claims execution.

Auto insurance leaders, claims operations teams, underwriting and portfolio leaders, field teams, mobility and transformation leaders, and anyone focused on improving auto claims performance.
