2018 Life Insurance Conference

Innovation in Insurance: New Tools for an Old Industry

4/9/2018 - 4/11/2018
Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile, Chicago, IL

Overview

Who Attends

Professionals involved in the development, operations, marketing, distribution, technology or administration of individual life insurance products.

Highlights

Attend the 2018 Life Insurance Conference to network with your peers and leading industry experts as we gather to discuss innovation in our industry and the key trends that will shape our future. Innovation and transformation are essential for finding new customers, delivering new products and opening new markets. Is your company successfully adapting to the new demands of the marketplace?

Innovative insurers are partnering with players outside the insurance sector and even beyond financial services. Is your organization? Have you fully embraced mobile technology allowing your customers to interact with you when the need arises — anywhere and anytime? Has your organization introduced new elements of competitive differentiation to increasing sales opportunities and new business?

The bottom line is insurers need to find a more positive way to engage with customers. And they need to engage with them more frequently. That means transforming distribution models and physical networks. It means offering customers new products, advice and services. And it means delivering an experience that’s personalized and relevant.

This premier conference offers more than 30 workshops on topics including product innovation, distribution, markets, technology, administration and regulation. This is your opportunity to join the crucial dialogue.
