Global Insurance Symposium 2021 | ITA Group | 28 June 2021 | Hilton Des Moines Downtown, 435 Park St, Des Moines, IA 50309, USA

Everything about how we live, work and do business changed in 2020. Customers will be looking to you for help moving forward and continuing to feel secure in their coverage and their future.

Get the answers your customers are looking for at the 2021 Global Insurance Symposium, the preeminent event for insurance professionals from around the world. In addition to dynamic panel discussions and interactive demonstrations of cutting-edge technologies, industry experts will be on hand to discuss the latest industry trends and doing business in a post-COVID world.

The 2021 Global Insurance Symposium will be a hybrid event, so you can choose to join us in person or virtually!

We’re excited to announce our new format for breakout sessions during GIS 2021! This year, as part of your registration, all participants will be assigned to a cohort or small group for both virtual and in-person attendees.

In addition to prioritizing health and safety by allowing for greater social distancing for those attending in person, these cohorts will be a fantastic opportunity to dive deep into the industry topics discussed from the main stage keynotes and panels, network and hear new ideas directly from your peers and become an active participant in the discussions on the future of insurance. Each cohort will have attendees from a cross-section of our industry and an insurance thought leader facilitating each session to help guide discussions and offer additional insights. You won’t want to miss a second.

Breakout session cohorts are just one more way GIS is differentiating itself from other industry events. Register now and be ready to join your cohort during GIS 2021!
