MGAs Are The Future

Written by tyrel@www.insurtechny.com on April 10, 2026.

MGAs Are The Future

A focused afternoon for MGA and carrier leaders — candid sessions on what it takes to grow.

June 2, 2026

New York, NY

Invite-Only · MGAs & Carriers

The MGA model is evolving fast. New programs, shifting capacity relationships, and rising operational complexity are reshaping what it takes to grow sustainably. This invite-only afternoon brings together MGA and carrier leaders for candid sessions on the decisions that matter most right now.

🏗️ Core Infrastructure

Real talk on the operational decisions that shape MGA growth — including when and how to replace a policy admin system without disrupting active programs or carrier relationships.

📡 Embedded Distribution

What it actually takes to make embedded insurance work at scale — the partnership structures, integration models, and distribution economics that separate successful programs from stalled ones.

📊 Unit Economics

A hands-on workshop on the metrics that matter most for MGA sustainability — what carriers look for in program partners, and where margin gets left on the table.

Event Agenda — June 2nd

Invite-Only · Founders & Investors

Get Your Ticket — $895

Space is limited. Participation is curated.

The next InsurTech Trails experience heads west to the breathtaking shores of Lake Tahoe.

Set against the crystal-clear waters and alpine peaks of South Lake Tahoe, this is where real relationships are built.

🎤 Curated Programming

Afternoon sessions on the decisions that define startup growth — from building a finance function to structuring deals to managing a board. Practical, peer-driven, and off the record.

🍽️ Private Dinner

An intimate evening at a curated Tahoe venue. The best conversations happen away from the agenda — this is where the real connections form.

🏔️ ATV Adventure

A full day on the trails. No specialized skills required — just a sense of adventure and a willingness to build relationships outside a ballroom.

Peer-Driven Insights

Curated Connections

A small, intentional attendee list means every conversation is worth having. Pre-event coordination ensures you know who’s coming before you arrive.

Relationships That Last

Shared outdoor experiences accelerate trust in ways that conference halls don’t. After four years of these forums, the deals and partnerships made on the trails speak for themselves.

Time Away from the Noise

No sponsor booths. No keynote theater. Two days in one of the most spectacular natural settings in the country, focused on what actually matters.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu For Insurance Nerds

Written by tyrel@www.insurtechny.com on January 22, 2026.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Insurance Nerds

Insurance runs on risk. So does Jiu-Jitsu. Before the Spring Conference kicks off, step off the conference floor and onto the mat for an hour of grappling, learning, and the kind of bonding that no networking happy hour can replicate.

Join fellow insurance professionals at the legendary Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City for a BJJ seminar unlike anything on the Spring Conference schedule. Whether you’ve been training for years or have never tied on a gi, this session is designed to meet you where you are — and push you somewhere new. Trade techniques, trade war stories, and leave with connections that go a little deeper than a business card exchange.

This is a ticketed partner event taking place ahead of InsurTech NY’s 2026 Spring Conference. Spots are $60 and limited — this one will fill up fast.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Fabio Coelho | 4th Degree Black Belt

Fabio Coelho grew up in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and started training Jiu-Jitsu at 14 under Vinicius “Draculino” Magalhães — one of the most respected names in the sport. He earned his black belt under Renzo Gracie himself and has spent the last eight-plus years teaching at the Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City.

His specialty is the loop choke. His students will tell you he’s equally dangerous from every position.
Off the mat, Fabio holds a business degree and spends his downtime in nature — which, if you think about it, makes him a perfect fit for a room full of insurance people who spend their days calculating what happens when nature doesn’t cooperate.

Future of Distribution 2025: Meetings and Debates!

Written by tyrel@www.insurtechny.com on July 12, 2025.

The Future of Distribution is where insurance leaders meet the next generation of innovation. This exclusive half-day program brings together agents, and brokers to explore how we can leverage the latest InsurTech technologies, and distribute the latest innovative MGA products being created.

There are 2 parts to this event, and you can sign up for each event separately.

(Part 1) 2PM – 5:25PM: Agents <> InsurTech Speed-dating

NOTE: Part 1 is now full, If you are agent or broker, and want to participate, please email contact@insurtechny.com. We have removed part one from the time slots on Luma, but this part is still happening, and if you are registered for it, you will have received an email for this.

Agents and brokers will meet on a rotational basis with over 25+ innovative InsurTech Enablers and Managing General Agents (MGAs) to talk about potential partnership opportunities. Only sign up for this if you are serious about working with Startups (either as a partner or a mentor).

(Part 2) 6:10PM – 8PM: Let’s Debate Old vs New!

Will AI replace all service work in insurance agencies? Do you feel the independent agency model will survive the next 10 years without consolidation? Do agencies need more technology, or should they make better use of what they already have? Is Insurance still truly about the relationships, or is it just a race for market saturation?

Tickets & Registration

This event is complementary for Agents, Brokers and Carriers only
