Try to distill all of the lessons and insights imparted by speakers at the inaugural InsurTechTO conference into a single prescription, and you might get this: Technological change is everywhere in the insurance industry, and you’d better do way, way more than just get used to it. Organized by Insurance-Canada.ca, the Nov. 6 event included a pitch competition (won by “smart form” developer FormHero) and presentations on a wide range of technology topics, including how to create an innovation ecosystem, leveraging data to make brokers more competitive, and, our favourite, “Broker 2.0: The Transformation of the Modern Broker,” moderated by Canadian Underwriter’s own Ian Portsmouth.
