By InsurTech North

Toronto, Ontario (February 11, 2020) – MSA Research is excited to announce that the full agenda for InsurTech North 2020 is finalized. Now in its third year, InsurTech North 2020 takes place April 6-7 at the Beanfield Centre in Toronto. InsurTech North is a forum for InsurTechs, insurers, reinsurers, brokers, MGAs, digital leaders, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.


This year’s conference theme is aptly named “Where the Rubber Hits the Road”, highlighting the move from hype to action and the need for meaningful ‘move the needle’ traction. Sessions cover diverse topics from a broad overview of where InsurTech is headed to principles-based regulation, an interactive facilitated workshop on deconstructing key ecosystem issues, AI, the customer journey, combatting sexism in tech, full-stack insurtechs, and working together to win.
Other highlights include:


• Wolf Pack Startup Pitch Competition (competitors will be announced later this month)
• One-to-one meeting opportunities with other attendees at the Expo and Marketplace on both days powered by the Brella event networking app
• Several other networking opportunities, including breakfasts, lunches, networking breaks and cocktail reception on April 6


“I picked this conference in particular because of the networking value,” said Aly Dhalla, CEO and Co-Founder, Finaeo and recipient of the 2019 Wolf Pack Start Up Pitch Competition. “In fact, InsurTech North created one of our (Finaeo’s) first partnerships,” shared Dhalla.


The agenda and format of InsurTech North was shaped by a world-class advisory committee of diverse leaders including:


• Mukul Ahuja, Partner, Strategy & Artificial Intelligence, Financial Services & Insurance Leader, Omnia AI at Deloitte
• Jan Arp, Managing Partner, Holt
• Sue Britton, CEO & Founder, Fintech Growth Syndicate (FGS)
• Aly Dhalla, CEO & Co-Founder, Finaeo
• Stephen Goldstein, Vice President, Client eXperience Lead, RGAX

• Abhay Raman, Chief Security Officer, Sun Life Financial
• Parna Sabet-Stephenson, Partner, Gowling WLG

“In short, what’s impressed me is the huge variety of attendees from P&C and Life Co., individual and group, VCs and other advisors to the community,” said Keegan Iles, Partner, PwC, and returning Wolf Pack Pitch Competition Leader, “The networking as a result is fantastic,” continued Iles, “and when you look around, there are real deals going down. This is what you want to see at an insurtech conference.”
