Viewpoint Strategy, Corporate Development and Innovation Summit at ITC Vegas

​We'd be delighted to have you join us for our 5th Annual Strategy, Corporate Development, and Innovation Summit on Tuesday, September 29th. You'll be in a closed-door room of carrier and distribution peers, with content shaped specifically for Strategy, Corporate Development, and Innovation leaders, and no startups, vendors, or media in the room.

​Agenda

​12:00-1:00 Networking Lunch

​1:00-1:20 Opening Remarks and State of Insurtech

​1:20-1:50 AI: the Great Equalizer or the Great Divide?

​Description: Does AI narrow the gap between challengers and incumbents, or hand the biggest players advantages that compound out of reach? Does being early actually pay, or does insurance's "fast follower" instinct still hold? And as carriers and distributors bet differently, how is it reshaping what they build versus buy?

​1:50-2:30 View from Wall Street: Bulls, Bears, and Black Boxes

​Description: Back for a fifth year, our panel of insurance equity research analysts returns to tell you what they're watching in 2026 and where they don't buy the story management teams are selling. Expect candid, sometimes conflicting takes on AI's real P&L impact, the private-credit-and-annuities nexus drawing fresh scrutiny, and the next phase of distribution consolidation. As always, the floor is yours: audience questions strongly encouraged.

​2:30-3:00 The New Shape of Distribution

​Description: AI is rewiring how insurance gets bought and sold, but who captures the value? As distribution reorganizes, does AI compress the chain and squeeze the intermediaries, or does it hand decisive advantage to whoever owns the producer relationship? We'll dig into where the new models actually create advantages across the distribution chain, and whether AI makes the human producer more valuable or less.

​3:00-3:30 Rewiring the Org: How Incumbents Are Restructuring to Run on AI

​Description: Driving AI through an insurance organization is as much an org-design question as a technology one. This panel examines how carriers and distributors are reshaping talent, governance, and culture to make AI stick, from the enterprise level down to the functions in the room. Featuring leaders who've taken different paths, it digs into key questions: centralize AI in a dedicated function or embed it in the lines of business? Buy the talent or build it? And where does governance protect the firm versus quietly strangle the experimentation that makes AI pay off?

​3:30-4:00 Networking
