This Month's Highlights
1. P2P Insurance & Community Webinar - webinar recording
Earlier this week we held our P2P Insurance & Community Webinar.  We had over 650 people register for the event from around the world and a great panel of speakers who shared their insights and success stories on P2P and Community models. If you missed it, you can watch the recording below. 
2. Next Webinar - AI & Machine Learning 
Our next webinar will be on the 29th March on the topic of AI & Machine Learning.  With AI technology startups receiving a record $5 billion in investment in 2016 across a range of industries, including insurance, it's certainly a topic that is creating a lot of discussion.  Our webinar will be an interactive session and include a panel of global experts and will focus on the use cases for insurance. 
3. InsurTech Insights - Blockchain in Insurance​​​​​​
This month's InsurTech Insights newsletter, produced in collaboration with KPMG, focuses on Blockchain in Insurance. We have an article from Rick Huckstep which talks through blockchain use cases in the reinsurance market and a view point from KPMG on what should be on the insurance CEO’s agenda when it comes to the subject of blockchain.
