Thursday, 14th August

09:00 – 10:00

Fireside chat: From old to new - Bridging the divide with legacy integration

This session addresses the real-world challenge of integrating legacy systems with new-age platforms and APIs. Speakers will share insights on balancing transformation with continuity, the risks of “rip and replace” strategies, and how incremental innovation can unlock value in underwriting, policy management, and CRM processes. 

10:00 – 10:30

Fireside chat: Reaching into data - The art of innovation

Here, the focus is on how data can inspire innovation when approached creatively. This session will showcase how insurers, brokers, and tech partners are using behavioural analytics, real-time data, and customer insights to develop new products, enhance service delivery, and unlock underserved markets. 

10:30 – 11:00

Panel discussion: From automation to augmentation - A Shift in perspective

This discussion will delve into how AI and automation are not just replacing routine tasks but augmenting human capabilities, enhancing judgement, speed, and precision. Panelists will examine where true value lies in letting tech handle the mundane while humans focus on complex, relationship-based, or ethical decision-making. 

11:00 – 11:30

Fireside chat: Future skills to thrive in the Age of AI

This conversation will explore the evolving skills needed for professionals in the AI-enabled workplace, from data literacy and systems thinking to emotional intelligence and adaptability. It will also touch on practical steps employers, intermediaries, and individuals can take to stay future-ready. 

11:30 – 12:00

Fireside chat: Redefining productivity through technology

What does productivity mean in a digitally transformed world? This session will examine how tools like cloud platforms, AI assistants, process automation, and workflow integration are reshaping output expectations, emphasising outcomes over activity and enabling leaner, more agile businesses. 

12:00 – 13:00

Panel discussion: Data to intelligence – The missing link

Despite having access to more data than ever, many organisations struggle to convert it into actionable intelligence. This panel will focus on the “last mile” problem: making data usable for frontline decision-making, underwriting, fraud detection, and client servicing. Speakers will discuss how to close this gap with the right tools, culture, and skills. 

13:00 – 14:00

Panel discussion: Digital presence management – Beating the algorithm

This session tackles how brokers, planners, and providers can grow their digital visibility and brand trust in an algorithm-driven world. The discussion will include SEO, content marketing, client engagement, reputation management, and how platforms like Google, LinkedIn, and social media influence modern advice-seeking behaviours.

14:00 – 14:30

Closing keynote: Vision 2030 – The next decade of intelligence

The final keynote will paint a forward-looking picture of how intelligence, augmented by AI, enriched by data, and driven by ethics, will shape the insurance and financial planning ecosystem by 2030. This session will challenge attendees to reimagine business models, talent development, and client relationships for a radically intelligent future.
