Agenda
12:00-12:45 Networking Lunch
12:45-1:10 Opening Remarks and State of Insurtech
1:10-1:40 Insurtech’s First Decade: Lessons, Misses & What’s Next
Description: A candid look back at ten years of Insurtech. What innovations endured—and what quietly disappeared? This panel will explore how distribution models, data and AI adoption, and shifting capital cycles have reshaped priorities inside carriers. Panelists will share practical wins and missteps, along with how these experiences have changed organizational behavior, informed strategy, and defined the opportunities and risks carriers see heading into 2026.
1:40-2:10 AI in Production: From Use‑Cases to Live Workflows
Description: AI is moving from experiment to execution. This session brings leaders who have taken use-cases live—sharing how they selected the right starting points, navigated build vs. buy vs. integrator choices, and tackled data access and organizational change. Discussion will also highlight emerging governance practices—model inventories, human-in-the-loop oversight, and vendor risk management—designed to align with new regulatory expectations while driving measurable business outcomes.
2:10-3:00 View from Wall Street: Insurance Equity Analysts Unplugged
Description: Insurance stocks are moving with forces far beyond premium growth. This session will unpack how equity analysts are weighing macro drivers, such as interest rates, capital requirements, and loss cost inflation, against secular tailwinds like AI adoption, distribution innovation, and alternative capital inflows. Expect candid perspectives on what truly drives multiples, and where analysts see over- versus under-valued bets across carriers.
3:00-3:30 Insurance Ai-gent: the Future of Distribution
Description: AI is reshaping how distribution works—across retail, wholesale, and aggregator channels—and redefining how carriers engage their partners. This panel explores where AI is augmenting human producers, streamlining submissions and renewals, and embedding intelligence into CRM/AMS systems, partner integrations, and compliance. Leaders will share how they see AI changing distribution economics, channel dynamics, and the carrier–distributor relationship in the years ahead.
