Insurtech America Symposium Launches in Hartford April 13-14

/

Once upon a time, it was the Insurtech Hartford Symposium.  That was then, this is now… The newly rebranded Insurtech America Symposium will take place the weekend of April 13-14, with participants, program and panel speakers, and corporate leaders from across the nation and beyond converging on Connecticut’s Capitol City – as in Insurance Capitol – to learn the latest directly from individuals forging the path forward.

The InsurTech America Symposium (IAS 2026), described as the premier event for insurance innovation, marks the evolution of an annual flagship event into what is increasing a truly national gathering. The rebrand, organizers explain, reflects the scale of today’s audience—bringing together insurance and insurtech leaders from across the United States for meaningful connection, collaboration, and innovation.

Hosted at the Connecticut Convention Center, IAS 2026 takes place in what organizers trumpet is “a strategically located venue that offers easy access, walkability, and proximity to major airports—making it simple to arrive, connect, and make the most of your time at the event.”

The “high level” agenda gets underway the afternoon of Monday, April 13 and resumes the following morning, through 3 PM.  Among the session topics:

  • Underwriting Technology at a Crossroads: Decision Support or Digital Noise?

  • From Pilot to Production: Leading Change When Innovation Goes Live

  • Digital Transformation is Not a Technology Problem

  • Making Sense of Our New AI-Centric World

  • The Human + Machine Frontier: Realizing Responsible AI in Claims

  • AI in Claims: Where Do You Trust it - And Where Don't You?

  • The Talent Challenge: Building Digital-First Insurance Organizations

  • How Insurers are Realizing the Value of Generative AI

  • Guardrails & Governance: The Regulatory Lens on Insurance Innovation

The impressive roster of speakers includes Connecticut Insurance Commissioner Joshua Hershman, The Hartford President Mo Tooker, Rush Doshi, VP of Enterprise Innovation at Travelers, Jennifer Krawe, Head of Global Risk Solutions Incubation at Liberty Mutual, and Gordon Hui, SVP, Product Management and Marketing at HSB.

Industry organizers of the symposium point out that the location in the heart of downtown is highlighted by 30,000+ insurance professionals within a 1-mile radius and more than 10 major insurance companies in the immediate local area.
