SPONSOR & EXHIBITOR PROSPECTUS
The WSIA Insurtech Conference is a forum for exploration, education, idea-sharing and networking for anyone impacted by automation in the wholesale, specialty and surplus lines insurance industry. Attendees participate in a comprehensive slate of sessions providing insights on industry disruption and transformation opportunities. Join us to learn more about the imperative of developing a digital strategy and solutions including artificial intelligence and data analytics to expand markets, collaborate, streamline the distribution chain and enhance the customer experience.
ABOUT the WHOLESALE, SPECIALTY and SURPLUS LINES INDUSTRY Often called the “safety valve” of the insurance industry, surplus lines insurers fill the need for coverage in the marketplace by insuring risks that are declined by the standard underwriting and pricing processes of admitted insurance carriers. Risks typically written in the surplus lines market include: • • •
Non-standard or emerging risks, which have unusual underwriting characteristics Unique risks for which admitted carriers do not offer a filed policy form or rate High-capacity risks where an insured seeks a higher level of coverage than most insurers are willing or able to provide
“The excess and surplus lines segment of the industry is where you should be if you want to eat. E&S is an incredibly important ecosystem for insurtechs. This is where you survive as the industry moves faster and there is great opportunity.” Bob Frady Guidewire HazardHub, Co-Founder and Vice President
The wholesale, specialty and surplus lines business is immersed in current events, and emerging risks. The market is a critical component of efficiently introducing new products to the market, and it’s also an important place for insurtechs to be active, as it’s quickly evolving.
