Insurtech Australia (IA) will host its annual InsurtechLIVE event in Sydney on February 15.

The inaugural insutechLIVE was held this year at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA) and featured senior executives from QBE, Honey, Koba, Munich Re, and Cover Genius. An evening reception was sponsored by Hollard.

"Get ready for an eventful day full of guest speakers, panel discussions, networking – and coffee,” IA said in confirming a second insurtechLIVE.

IA has also welcomed new members Opter and Freely, and new partner New Zealand-based Rothbury Insurance Brokers, a member of the Steadfast network.

Sydney-based Opter is a digital marketplace for private health insurance, using artificial intelligence (AI) to help consumers find customised policy bundles, automate their health cover and secure the best deal.

Freely, a brand of Zurich’s Cover More, is a travel insurance service and safety app.
