Hi Everyone,

Please join us at our FinTech Open Mic Night in Warsaw for our monthly mixture of presentations, panel sessions, skype-ins, fireside chats and shout-outs plus plenty of networking.

This month's topic is InsurTech, FinTech is no longer just creating new Banking services but is also now addressing Insurance, another major industry sector that is ripe for disruption especially in the user experience area

This monthly session is designed to provide an opportunity to catch up with your peers, to see what's going on in the Warsaw and International FinTech scenes and to tell us all about yourself and your own work.

Psychologists, Business Developer (http://matrixthinking.pl/o-metodzie/), Consultant (http://conceptcase.pl/) and MD at Medlegalis (http://medlegalis.pl/) - insurance provider.

Rudradeb Mitra (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitrar), Cambridge-educated, Artificial Intelligence researcher turned entrepreneur at Road Viking (http://www.roadvikings.eu/) / Motosmarty (http://www.digitaldrivingpass.com/). Will be discussing trends disrupting the car industry and how can car insurance companies survive and thrive in these environments.

Recent advances in deep learning and other machine learning algorithms will expedite the adoption of new mobility trends like connected cars, automated vehicles etc... and bring in tech companies like Google and Apple into the car industry. These trends along with existing challenges of low brand loyalty, high customer acquisition and retention cost, low profitability and high customer churn may make many of the existing insurance companies non-existent within the next 5-10 years
