Everyone always says our industry is a relationship business, and that means building a community is critical to your growth individually and for your business. But what does community really mean?
For InsurTech NY, we think about community as the networks we build together, with colleagues and peers across and around the industry, to support each other, learn from each other, and grow. Building that kind of community doesn’t happen by accident, and it doesn’t happen simply by attending events.
Community to us is about the in-between moments that happen at conferences where peers network and deeper conversations happen over dinner.
That’s why we have been putting together many different opportunities to engage and build community together. Some recent examples include (1) a women leaders dinner we co-hosted in San Francisco in December; (2) InsurTech Slopes in Utah with InsurTech Hartford; (3) a dinner we are helping CT Innovation coordinate for CT leaders attending our Spring Conference.
What does community mean to you?
