Munich Re Digital Partners CEO Andrew Rear and Flamingo AI Founder Catriona Wallace will be among keynote speakers at next week’s Insurtech Conference.

Mr Rear will speak on lessons learned from three years of partnering with insurtech, while Dr Wallace will address the future of the customer experience.

IAG Entrepreneur in Residence Alex Taylor will discuss disruptive technology trends and examine some “what if” questions, while Veredictum CEO Tim Lea will look at blockchain and insurance.

EY will launch its latest survey and partner Jamie Smith will review the insurtech ecosystem and provide an update on global trends.

The program includes a panel discussion on the legal implications of technology use, including a look at ethical questions and how an increased emphasis on compliance will affect the industry.

The conference, at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth on Wednesday next week, is organised by the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance and supported by Insurtech Australia and InsurTech NZ. A series of workshops on Tuesday next week will lead into the main event.
