Thanks to our sponsor Guidewire (https://www.guidewire.com/) who is kindly providing beers and pizza on the night (as well giving some talks). Guidewire exists to deliver the software P/C insurers need to adapt and succeed in a time of rapid industry change - and to ensure that every customer succeeds in the journey.
