I had the pleasure of attending last week’s in-person (!) Digital Insurance event in San Diego. It was wonderful to close out the year by seeing, meeting, and learning from some of the best of the best in the industry.

Last week’s InsureTech Connect was an event almost two years in the making and one that certainly did not disappoint. With more than 5,000 people attending the show, it could easily be referred to as InsureTech REconnect with the number of familiar friendly faces I saw for the first time in way too long. I, of course, also enjoyed getting to see and meet some new ones while there too!

Historically, the insurance industry isn’t exactly known for embracing new technology. It’s been riddled with old technologies, siloed processes, complicated custom workarounds, and legacy mindsets. Recently, however, this slow-to-adapt culture has finally come around to the digital transformation.
