The great transition to working from home has opened up a new world of virtual experiences and virtual etiquette. Demand for tops has outpaced bottoms as dress shirts and sweatpants become a new fashion statement.

However, with all of the changes occurring, the need for human connection remains. Whether you are stuck in a 600 square foot apartment in Manhattan or you were able to escape to your suburban second home with a yard in Connecticut, you still need to keep in contact with your team and look for technology solutions outside your VPN.

At InsurTech NY, we had the opportunity to transition our 500-person Spring Conference to virtual. Making the transition required us to think about every aspect of the experience from the 80+ speakers and judges. This process forced us to go through trial and error quickly.

Now that we have made the switch to virtual you will be able to join us every other month for virtual experiences that mirror our late afternoon programs. Our next event will be on Data and Analytics on May 21st.
