A quick reflection on ITC 2024:
- Since 2017, we have been actively attending and sponsoring ITC, witnessing the remarkable recent evolution of the industry driven by AI.
- The permanence of Insurtech is evident, although we see a significant consolidation, leading to a shift towards fewer, stronger players.
While automation is widespread, truly impactful advanced analytics technologies to enable lower loss ratios and better cat modeling remain scarce. As one attendee told me, some large leading technology companies founded in the early 2000s seemed more like Blockbuster and Blackberry towards the end in terms of the ability to innovate anything, stuck with an outdated value proposition. But that’s true in many industries, I assume.
- Again, I would like to thank Garrett Koehn, Yosha DeLong of Mosaic Insurance, and Patrick Bourk of Navacord for participating in our panel on #CyberInsurance, The Final Frontier for Brokers. It was great having everyone over, and we have gotten tremendous insights on the panel!
- A shoutout to the exceptional work of the @InsureTech Connect team, including Nicole Peck, Bill Harris, and Josh Grossman
- The vibrant ITC and insurtech community help each other out to get innovation to the next level, thanks to individuals like David Kimmel Gilad Shai, Kobi Bendelak , Gustavo Roberto Vieira Doria Filho of CQCS Orna Carni and many others. It was great meeting old friends and new.
Leading carriers and brokers, such as HSB - Hartford Steam Boiler—Hartford Steam Boiler, MAPFRE, Markel, CRC Insurance Services, Howden Insurance Brokers Limited, Brown & Brown Insurance, PCF Insurance Services among others, continue to drive #innovation with implementations of cutting-edge technologies in IoT, Cyber, auto, life and health, and more.
- Our team in cyberwrite including @Rami Parient, Hartmut Mai, Parker Beauchamp of Markd, Jolyn Winkler, Jack Corbett,Marco Lo Giudice, PhD, Tony Cabot, Douglas Robare, and everyone else that helped prepare and execute are an amazing group of professionals whom I’m proud to collaborate with!
Looking forward to reconnecting next year!
