UK-based Stella Insurance CEO Sam White is the keynote speaker at insurtechLIVE 2023.

Ms White will address a crowd of around 250 at the event, the second to be hosted by Insurtech Australia (IA). It will take place on February 15 from noon to 7pm in Sydney at the at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA).

The 2023 event will see the resumption of offshore visitors, IA CEO Simone Dossetor tells insuranceNEWS.com.au.

“Last year we couldn't have international speakers,” Ms Dossetor said. “Our insurtechs do need to think globally, focused on winning business in Australia but really looking at where their international expansion is.”

The inaugural insurtechLIVE featured senior executives from QBE, Honey, Koba, Munich Re, and Cover Genius. An evening reception was sponsored by Hollard. The next insurtechLIVE promises "an eventful day full of guest speakers, panel discussions, networking – and coffee,” IA says.

Early bird tickets will go on sale in coming days and more information on topics and speakers will be revealed soon.

“It will be a similar sort of format to last year, a half day, and very much around what's happening globally and how that translates into the local environment,” Ms Dossetor said.
