This is one of the largest gatherings of senior executives representing diverse sectors of the financial services industry, including life, annuities, and workplace benefits. Our members and partners come together for strategic industry insights and high-level networking — a must-attend for executives.
This new world permits no time for complacency or nostalgia. With today’s uncertainties of inflation, market volatility, global unrest, and the latest COVID-19 variant, corporate forecasts have begun to build in allowances for new volatility.
At the same time, leaders across all business sectors should prepare to embrace a workforce fully set to rebound and a global economic landscape that — while evolving — will present huge opportunities for growth. That might sound counterintuitive, but there is a way to stay prepared while capitalizing on the unprecedented opportunities before us.
Consumer awareness and demand for security and financial protection have never been greater. We must harness heightened risk awareness to narrow the protection gap. Against this backdrop of consumer uncertainty, it should be easier for our industry to convey our ultimate purpose – protection, security, and resilience building.
As an industry, we must push ahead with digital transformation and with investments in AI, mobile, and other technologies.
What are other opportunities to consider? Diversity, equity and inclusion as a business advantage; attracting youth to the industry; building new business models and systems; and partnering with Fintechs and other technology startups. The opportunities are unprecedented, even in these uncertain times.
Who Attends
