Knowing your customer and the risks you are helping them address is an essential element of improving all aspects of insurance, from marketing, underwriting, servicing and monitoring through to claims settlement.
Enabled by rapid innovation of technology and driven by consumer expectations, the competitive insurance business is stepping up its game.
Understanding your customer is more critical than ever as the industry moves more rapidly from a “repair and replace” philosophy toward a “predict and prevent” mindset.

“20/20 Foresight: Keys To Success in a Dynamic World”
Tuesday & Wednesday, Feb. 25-26, 2020 — Beanfield Centre, Exhibition Place, Toronto.
The insurance industry is spinning with change driven by the world around us, including our partners and competitors, both new and traditional.
We face new and evolving risks shaped by factors including climate change, shifting societal norms, new technologies and their usage – or abuse, in the case of cybercrime. Customers’ expectations are continuously evolving in parallel.
New or updated business models, new approaches to managing risks, and new insurance products, often enabled by the latest technology, create fresh opportunities – but also generate challenges and risks of their own.
At ICTC2020, industry leaders and experts will define the next generation of insurance and risk management. Will the industry’s significant dependence on technology be its saving grace or its Achilles heel?
Explore the implications for achieving exceptional performance in insurance, not only today, but tomorrow – and beyond.

Tuesday & Wednesday, Feb. 26-27, 2019 — Beanfield Centre, Exhibition Place, Toronto.
In the last half of the second decade of the 21st century, insurance is suddenly blossoming. Three forces are driving a new insurance order:
- Modern core systems enable digital transformation throughout an organization.
- Digital services are creating new customer experiences, increasing client satisfaction.
- InsurTechs, supporting insurers and brokers, are innovating new products and services, facilitating greater client engagement and other improvements.
In the longer term, these digital approaches are positioned to disrupt the old insurance industry and enable greater customer satisfaction.
We are entering a new insurance order. And ICTC2019 will showcase the future, with a map to its realization. Join us to understand the evolution of the new insurance ecosystem and to share your vision for its future.

“Technology: A Two-Edged Sword”
February 29, 2016, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (Full day)
While technology offers operational and strategic advantages, the same tools can also introduce serious, unexpected consequences. This is the double-edged sword of technology in the 21st century.
By definition, technology implementation requires internal staff and process adjustments. More significantly, however, technology can require a re-definition of an organization's strategies and business model. In addition, the same technology can pave the way for external, disruptive strategies from existing and new competitors.
At the 2016 Insurance-Canada.ca Technology Conference, you will hear from practitioners, analysts and suppliers, who will share their experiences with technology implementations to help you anticipate and mitigate adverse consequences. ICTC2016 will feature presentations from practitioners, suppliers, and analysts who are proactively addressing technology's impact on critical business issues.
This year, for the first time, the conference took place in conjunction with the inaugural Insurance-Canada.ca Broker Forum (ICBF2016), “Brokers on the Digital Expressway.”

“The Digital Customer Experience” – Strategies for Successful Engagement
March 9-10, 2015, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (2 full days).

The 2015 Insurance-Canada.ca Technology Conference (#ICTC2015) will provide you the information you need to create, execute, and support the digital experience your customers expect. ICTC2015 will supply the information, organized as building blocks, to support a successful digital customer experience.
