Address
JFK24 410 10th Avenue, 16th Floor

​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 – 5:30PM: Agents <> InsurTech Speed-dating

​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) 5:30PM – 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?
