InsurTech NY Event Details

InsurTech NY is hosting its annual spring conference to bring together the insurance innovators and InsurTech leaders to NYC. The conference will feature speakers from insurance carriers and brokers making strides in innovation and InsurTech startups that have shaken up the industry.

This conference will help answer the age-old question: should insurers focus on going digital-first or being customer-first. During the first wave of the internet revolution, Silicon Valley Tech Companies focused purely on digital-first. The result was a glut of .COMs with no customers to buy their products. We all know how that ended.

The insurance industry is now having its moment of massive change. Leaders of insurance carriers and InsurTech startups must make the same decision as tech founders in the late 1990s, but the right answer for insurance may be different than the right answer for early tech. Join us on March 9th to explore the issue over a series of hot topics covering distribution, underwriting, policy admin, and claims functions.

The conference will also host the largest InsurTech competition on the East Coast. Top startups from a pool of 100+ applicants will pitch in front of investors and insurance executives.
