Customer Experience In the New Normal

A recent study conducted by Insurtech Insights found that 77% of insurance executives rated customer experience ‘essential’ to the future of insurance and ‘important’ by an additional 22%. But why – why is user experience critical, why now, and what should you be considering as you build or rethink your product and/or service in 2023?

Session Title: Assessing and Overcoming the Hurdles

Panel discussion: Step into the Brave New World of Applied AI: Beyond Data Analytics


Insurance has always been a numbers game, but now it’s powered by some serious technology applied to vast data sets.

The pandemic only accelerated this development, as insurers turned to intelligent decisioning and processing for better, more efficient results.
Get ready to hear firsthand from insurance leaders on the big wins and hard-won lessons they've experienced in underwriting, product development, and new business startups. Don't miss out on this invaluable session!

Identification of precise property features, strategies to leverage aerial intelligence tools for quick claims and catastrophe response

They say, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” But, for insurers that have access to aerial imagery with pixel resolutions high enough to capture what’s really happening on the ground, pictures are turning out to be worth millions. Going above to see below is accomplished using satellites, stratospheric balloons, drones, or fixed-wing aircrafts. With a rich stack of data-derived geospatial intelligence and imagery from above, insurers can readily access actionable property insights to make critical decisions more quickly and confidently across the entire policy lifecycle.
In this session, Nearmap will focus on strategies carriers are using to better understand a property, mitigate risk and more quickly serve its customers using the power of intelligence derived from aerial imagery.

Kevin Tulp, Solutions Engineer, Nearmap

Inclusive Insurance & the Gender Protection Gap

Inclusive insurance is the reference used to refer to affordable and accessible products presented to traditionally underserved populations, including women. The gender insurance gap refers to the disparity in insurance coverage and benefits between women and men, which can result in women being at a disadvantage when addressing financial planning, their future, and their protection. By increasing access to solutions inclusive insurance participants and its stakeholders help promote financial security and empowerment for women.

Natural Language Processing for Claims – Raising the Bar in InsurTech

2023 is starting to present unique challenges to the Property and Casualty industry. Increasing severity, dwindling staff resources, cyber security, excessive jury verdicts, and environmental, social, and governance risks will be the ultimate stress test for insurance companies.
