ILF’s Focus Forward: TECHTalk
The Council’s annual Insurance Leadership Forum (ILF) is just over a week away, and we are excited to highlight several new offerings to expose Council members to technology in action in the commercial insurance business.
Over the summer, The Council crowdsourced priority areas from broker executives attending ILF by 1) line/segment of business and 2) insurance value chain.
The results?
- Line/segment of business: Interest in small commercial, workers compensation and cyber insurance edged out construction risks, high net worth and commercial auto by a touch. This is not surprising given the proliferation of new tech-enabled managing general agencies and B2C brokers in the market serving small businesses with these coverages.
- Insurance value chain: Leveraging data analytics for brokerage performance and benchmarking for clients led the way for brokers in this category, with policy management workflow coming in third.
To showcase companies making moves in these areas, we created TECHTalk at ILF. This new session on Monday, October 1 from 8:00 a.m. – 9:20 a.m., will feature an inside look at the following five organizations and will be moderated by Nick Shalek of Ribbit Capital and Cheryl Matochik of The Council. If you are attending ILF, be sure to add it to your schedule, and if not, we will be recording this event and webcasting it after the event.
- John Swigart, Pie Insurance
- Jayant Lakshmikanthan, CLARA Analytics
- Mike Furlong, Indio Technologies, Inc.
- Andrew Robinson, Groundspeed Analytics
- Mike Cormier, RiskMatch
