FT Insurance Innovation Summit 2018 | Financial Times | 11 April 2018 | Convene Conference Center, 730 Third Avenue NY 10017 New York USA

Insurers are acutely aware of the disruption and change facing their industry. Many have taken great strides to proactively explore emerging technologies, rethink organizational structures and internal processes, and develop (or acquire) new capabilities. But industry-wide transformation and wide scale adoption do not happen overnight, and keeping pace in today’s competitive landscape isn’t just a matter of positioning for future success. Executives must also keep one foot on the pedals driving growth and customer satisfaction in the present.

As firms look to assess the return on their investments in technology, people and products, insurers have the challenging task of determining where and how to continue investing their time and resources. The industry is beginning to see that innovation is an iterative process, and savvy leaders will ensure their firms are agile enough to respond to shifting trends, while still moving the needle forward in areas that will show immediate improvement to the bottom line.

The 2nd Annual FT Insurance Innovation Summit will bring together leading executives and industry experts to discuss the best strategies to adapt and innovate in this rapidly evolving industry.
