Welcome to 2020.

The new year is a great time for self-reflection and goal setting. It is in the new year, we are most apt to try new things. In that spirit, InsurTechNY launched its startup competition. Our goal is to draw the same competitive energy from personal goals into startup goals for a worldwide InsurTech competition. InsurTechs of any stage can participate (later stage startups demo instead of pitching).

The competition features all-star judges. Our judges represent the entire insurance value-chain and made over 50% of U.S. InsurTech investments last year. Judges will determine the top 20 startups to present at the InsurTechNY Spring Conference and select who wins the pool of $300,000 in value.

2020 Outlook

We will continue our regular cadence of bi-monthly events. We will kick off the year with a full-day conference on March 19 about the changing buying experience. The conference will discuss trends in insurance buying like the gig economy, demographics, and new customer expectations.

After March, we will continue our bi-monthly events covering topics including data & analytics, working with CVCs, core systems evolution, emerging technologies, and FinTech vs. InsurTech.
