In addition, two exciting elements have been added to the agenda that will enhance both the professional development and networking value of the event: Educational Workshops and an onsite insurtech Expo.

“The workshops are new, and we’re excited to be enhancing the program in the direction our delegates will appreciate and have asked for specifically,” said Joel Baker, CEO MSA Research.  “This conference kick-off gives our attendees the chance to expand their knowledge of four key industry topics (Meeting the Expectation of VCs, Understanding the Life/Health Industry, The Value Proposition of Accelerators, and Understanding the P&C Industry),” continued Baker, “We’re continually building relevance and actionable take-aways into InsurTech North and feel really great about the agenda that our outstanding Advisory Committee shaped this year.”
