The event was billed as drawing 500 InsurTech leaders.

The summit was held at Ease 605 in New York, NY.

Senior insurance leaders and InsurTech founders were expected to attend, with 81% at director level or above and a 2:1 buyer-to-seller ratio.

Sessions were scheduled to address insurance industry priorities, technology-enabled underwriting, personalized products, the evolving global risk landscape, health and life insurance transformation, and embedded insurance.

The summit used Brella matchmaking software to facilitate one-on-one meetings, agenda planning, and interactive Q&As.

Global Insurtech Summit USA was a one-day, in-person collaborative meeting of senior insurance and technology executives featuring a demo stage for emerging technologies.

It was most useful for insurtech founders and vendors who wanted meetings with senior insurance buyers, since the attendance was billed as about 500 leaders, 81% at director level or above, with a 2:1 buyer-to-seller ratio and Brella matchmaking for booking meetings. Insurance executives also got peer exposure, with speakers scheduled from Zurich North America, Liberty Mutual, New York Life and Prudential, but those wanting deep technical training or a large exhibition would have found a one-day event at Ease 605 limited.

Senior insurance and fintech audiences in New York usually wear business casual to business professional, such as blazers and slacks, with ties less common among tech founders.

Speakers were scheduled to include executives from Zurich North America, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Berkley Environmental, New York Life Insurance, Prudential, PURE Insurance, AXA XL, and QBE.
