January 2022 | Our Monthly Event Recap

It's been a few busy months! To kick off the new year, we hosted several exciting events, including our first hybrid fintech and enterprise tech event, fireside chats on a variety of industry topics and many more events. We have compiled a list of every event in December and January detailed below, ready for you to watch whenever.

Insurance Distribution Innovation

During this event, we cleared up the main doubts insurers have about distribution in the insurance sector: How can insurance players enhance their agents and brokers in order to stay relevant to their customers' evolving expectations? Given customers' expectations are evolving, how can insurance players leverage API to extend their offering? Customers’ purchasing behaviors are shifting toward more digitized and self-service solutions, how can insurance players make use of those channels?

Trend Workshop: Financial Literacy

COVID-19 has increased demand for health and life insurance products, especially amongst younger generations. However, many report a lack of understanding when considering such products. How can insurers help consumers overcome this hurdle? During this session, ReMark, a global insurance marketing consultancy firm, shares findings from their recent consumer study on insurance literacy. Then a panel of startups discusses their best practices for consumer education.
