“Two days of valuable presentations, and
meetings with people I wanted to speak with.”

“With the proliferation of InsurTech conferences, it is rare to find one that strikes the right balance between start-ups/innovators, incumbent insurers, vc/investors , and established vendors. SVIA found the right balance that allowed for an open dialogue that is rare in such a closely-guarded space – well done.”

Why You Should Attend Digital Insurance Ecosystems & Core Systems

Digital Insurance Ecosystems & Core Systems is an insurance conference for decision-makers and innovators. It is designed to provide them with insight and connections that will help them develop strategies to stay competitive in the face of rapidly maturing digital ecosystems. Several InsurTech Conferences like InsurTech Connect have offered sessions that touch on this topic. This is the only Insurance event that is designed to help attendees develop a comprehensive digital ecosystem strategy.

To succeed in the digital insurance industry being built on top of these ecosystems requires developing new strategies for insurance customer engagement, new insurance product models and distribution models. It also requires rethinking insurance value chains, operations and the role and requirements of core systems.

Insurance and InsurTech innovators are exploring and harnessing the digital ecosystems that surround and support people, their lifestyles, and stages of life. They are also exploring the digital ecosystems surrounding and supporting industries and the businesses within them. Digital ecosystems are composed of cloud-based interoperable platforms, solutions, devices, and data. The impact of digital ecosystems grows as the solutions within them grow in number, capability, interoperability, and the value they create. The solutions these innovators develop and/or become part of will completely upend the world of insurance.

Participants across the industry are tapping into these digital ecosystems opening the door to growth and innovation opportunities. That includes InsurTechs and insurance companies. It also includes innovative solution providers that are developing platform strategies that make it easy for their insurance customers to tap into the data, analytics and cloud-based insurance solutions that are available within digital ecosystems. This accelerates insurance companies’ and InsurTechs’ ability to modernize and streamline their processes and services and bring innovative solutions to market more quickly. This includes advanced insurance risk assessment, underwriting, and pricing as well as claims.

Whether you are an insurance company, a broker/agent, an InsurTech a solution provider or a vendor, it imperative that you develop a comprehensive digital ecosystem strategy. A strategy that addresses the changes, opportunities, and competitive realities that digital ecosystems are bringing to the industry. Without a comprehensive strategy, you will find it increasingly difficult to retain current customers, attract new customers, and remain competitive with companies that have more fully embraced digital ecosystems.

This is the only insurance event that provides you with an agenda and speakers designed to provide you the insight and connections you need to develop a digital ecosystem strategy that will give you the ability to develop the strategy, products and customer experiences required to sustain a competitive advantage.
