Drawing on newly released global insurance research and market data, this opening keynote highlights key trends shaping the industry in 2026. The session will explore how P&C insurers are positioning portfolios, managing risk, and navigating an increasingly complex economic and technology landscape.
Attendees will also get an early look at new industry data and insights being shared publicly for the first time.
In this session, a key executive from one of the major AI foundation models will present case studies from Enterprises that shifted from small, go-nowhere trials to discovering the use cases where AI makes a far more significant contribution to the business.
In this session, industry leaders will share where AI is already in daily production today at scale: from policy workflows to core operational decisions and beyond. We’ll cover what’s working, what isn’t and never will, and the mindset you need to drive measurable ROI.
As advances in AI enable faster analysis and binding, the leaders will increasingly win the best risks and the laggards will settle for whatever’s left. It’s a zero-sum race. How are leaders at carriers managing portfolio profitability while managing mounting pressure for growth? In this roundtable, leading executives will reveal how AI is impacting strategy and execution.
MGAs are dynamic, agile innovators, rewriting the rules for how the industry operates. In this session, leaders from high-growth MGAs will reveal how their operating models and technology drive faster experimentation, sharper specialization, and quicker decision-making.
Building on the prior sessions, executives from carriers, MGAs, MGAAs will compare and contrast opportunities, challenges, and insights from their different points of view.
Over the next few years, no industry is projected to spend more on AI than financial services. They’re expected to account for more than 20% of global AI spending. Banks have led the way, and insurers can learn a lot from what they’ve gotten right and wrong.
In a market defined by volatility, new risks, and accelerating technological change, insurers are under pressure to perform in new ways. This session explores how leading organizations are redefining performance; aligning strategy, insurance operations, and technology to deliver stronger business outcomes in an era of constant disruption.
