InsurTech Spring Conference 2023 | InsurTech NY | 29 March 2023 | Pier Sixty, Pier 60, Chelsea Piers, New York, NY 10011, USA

The insurance industry is inherently collaborative. Risk managers, brokers, and carriers all must find ways to share data about risk, assets, and claims in a way that maintains a stable value chain.

InsurTechs introduce an entirely new form of collaboration into the industry. Collaboration is necessary for survival to new InsurTech distributors. Most InsurTechs are not capitalized enough to become carriers at inception, so they rely on carriers to lend their licenses, balance sheet, and reinsurance capacity to get them started. Similarly, InsurTech solution providers rely on carriers and brokers to purchase and integrate their software into an existing value chain.

Therefore, we decided to bring together the legacy and emerging insurance industry players together to talk about what is necessary to build better collaboration across the value chain. This conference will be divided into two tracks: (1) Life and Health and (2) Property and Casualty.

The conference will also host the largest InsurTech competition on the East Coast. Top startups from a pool of 100+ applicants will pitch in front of investors and insurance executives.
