What will the specialty insurance market look like a decade from now? Will we still be talking about legacy systems and manual processes, or will the model itself have changed?
In this panel discussion from InsTech’s Outpace. Outprice. Outperform event, Robin Merttens leads a conversation with four senior experts on the future of the market and the forces that could reshape it.
Featuring:
- Paul Carroll, Editor-in-Chief, Insurance Thought Leadership
- Toby Kovacs, Account Director, Google Cloud
- Andy Yeoman, CEO and Co-founder, Concirrus
- Tracie Thompson, Global Head of Strategic Clients, Cytora
Together, they examine how emerging technologies, shifting client expectations and economic realities are pushing the market to rethink long-held assumptions about distribution, underwriting and talent.
In this conversation, the panel explores:
- Whether brokers, underwriters and annual renewals will still have a role
- How capital and distribution are bypassing traditional intermediaries
- Why outsourcing is being redefined in the age of AI
- The impact of legacy behaviours, not just legacy systems
- How new models of work and regulation are influencing transformation
- Whether the protection gap is closing — or widening
