Digital in Insurance: Panel Discussion and Happy Hour

Details

Join us for the first iteration of this meetup to grab complimentary drinks and hors d’oeuvres, network and learn from the experiences of our great panelists. We will be joined by Mike Anselmo, CIO of NSM Insurance and Mark Sheehan, Head of ISO Rating Solutions, who will share their experiences on how they embraced digital to better align themselves with the evolving needs in the insurance space.

Novarica's Matt Josefowicz suggests that digital involves rethinking not just the face of the process or steps in the process, but the purpose of the process. In today’s environment, both agents and insureds have been conditioned in their private lives to expect a rich and personalized digital experience when interacting with service providers online. Insurers that recognize that their customers, agents, and employees want to interact with them across different channels and devices, when and where they want will be poised to thrive in the digital economy.

Come learn from the panelists and network with your peers.
