1:10 - 1:50 PM   KEYNOTE + Q&A

Making Insurance More Human: Now and In The Future

On its own, next-generation technology won’t solve the problem that not enough people are covered by insurance products. Insurers need to harness technology like machine learning, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics in ways that help people better understand risk and protection products. Future success in the insurance industry isn’t about using tech solely to build or sell products. It’s about using these solutions to better connect with customers and build trust. 

In this session, Amy Friedrich, president of U.S. insurance solutions at Principal, will share how insurers can position themselves to connect with the customers of 2030.

1:50 - 2:20 PM   PANEL DISCUSSION

A Look Ahead: The Future of Distribution in Health and Benefits in 2030

The year is 2030. How will technology impact health and benefits distribution models?   

This session will embrace a discussion focusing on the evolving roles of insurers, benefits consultants and technology companies and debate questions such as:

• Will there be a blurring of roles and how will that affect the customer?
• Who “owns” the customer and their data?
• Is AI and technology a substitution for local broker knowledge?
• Will retailers such as Walmart and Amazon become preferred channels?

The Journey to Connectivity: Standards, Middleware or Point Solutions?

Think ahead to the year 2030. Insurance carrier ecosystems will be more connected than ever before, seamlessly connecting carriers with distribution partners, ben admins, HRIS, payroll and even employer and employee customers.

But in 2021, this type of connectivity is difficult to achieve with legacy and modern internal and external ecosystems. So how will the increasingly complex carrier environment evolve? And, how will the economics of connectivity influence the outcome?

In this session, we will discuss the journey to connectivity in the insurance industry and how carriers can bridge the gap to a frictionless customer experience.
