The Digital Insurer Quarterly Update: Q3 2018

A warm welcome to this quarter’s update on the The Digital Insurer.

UPDATE: LIVEFEST 2018 - World’s first global virtual digital insurance festival

Progress is going well for the world’s largest global virtual festival of digital insurance, being held in November. The current status is:

Planning for the five live webinars is well under way – we will be having one in each region and then a global finale. A draft agenda is available here.
More than 6,000 people have registered for the festival so far. As an attendee you will be able to drop in and out as you see fit - to get the information, entertainment and connectivity you want - and all without spending a single dollar on event registration, travel or accommodation!
We have more than 100 award entries for the Startup InsurTech and Insurance Innovation Awards, which is going to create a truly unique online collection of insurance innovation and talent.
Our Virtual Exhibition centre goes live in July and every award entry has a booth. You will be able to login to view nominations, interact with the nominees and provide feedback to our judges, who will select the award finalists by the end of August. Finalists will present live in their regional event and attendees will vote for the winners who then progress to the global finals.
We are currently approaching digital insurance innovators, who are leaders in their fields, so they can present their thinking and participate in our 'ask any question' sessions in the live events. If you know a digital innovator, or are a digital innovator and would like to get involved, then please contact me at the email above.

Full details and sign-up links are at the festival site here.

We also have regional and knowledge partner packages available for those companies interested in a presence at the Festival email livefest@the-digital-insurer.com for more details, or fill out the contact form here.

Regional blog – U$ Disrupted is launched

The first monthly edition of U$ Disrupted was launched last month, edited by Tom Bobrowski, our head of North America. Check it out here.

We are planning to expand our content and service offerings to North America and are talking to a number of organisations about content and service partnership opportunities going forward.

Content highlights from Q2 2018 and new content plans

Our KPMG sponsored content continues to deliver the monthly Digital Insurance in A ction newsletter and InsurTech Insights along with our well-attended webinars. This months InsurTech insights covered wealth and asset management. Our two interactive webinars in the quarter, sponsored and moderated by KPMG, covered ‘Simplifying the Customer Experience’ and ‘InsurTechs Accelerating Operational Excellence’. Both drew large participation from members across the world and had strong engagement - you can review the recording, poll results and Q&A here.

Our Swiss Re sponsored bilingual monthly blog 'China in Focus' covered four topics in the last quarter:

Do also check-out our Daily Newswire, which continues to aggregate digital insurance news, while providing clear links and attribution to the third party sources that do a great job helping to keep the industry abreast of the latest developments.

We have also released a lot of our video content onto the site, including recordings from our events and webinars. You can access the video information here.

We will also be launching a new live interview format called 'TDI Talks!' this quarter.

TDI event participation

During the quarter the TDI team were involved in events in Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Romania. View our event listings for information and content on events TDI has been involved in as well as events coming up.

In addition to our own Global LIVEFEST event we are participating in a number of events in the next quarter, in Bangkok, London and Boston. Full details are available on the events page.

Our next webinar is on the 29^th August and is on ‘Technology Infrastructure for Global Insurers’. Register here.

If you have a relevant public or private event you would like us to get involved in as speakers, moderators or panellists, please let us know and we will do our best to support.

Community Sponsorship – service enhancements and new signups

Our second enrolment period closed and we are pleased to welcome DBS & AIA as new regional sponsors for Asia. This makes a total of 11 community sponsors and we are taking to a number of companies about enrolment this quarter. Our full list of community sponsors is available here.

Community Sponsors benefit from a range of corporate members services such as preferential information services and deeper media coverage, as well as ecosystem connectivity and general support for the knowledge and community building mission of The Digital Insurer.

We also held two informal meetups – one in Singapore that was at Prudential offices and one in Hong Kong at Swiss Re offices – offering an ‘invite only’ group of industry movers and shakers the opportunity to mix with each other, the TDI team, and selected InsurTechs.

We are also launching our digital insurance jobs board in the third quarter and our Community Sponsors will get preferential access to this in the first instance.

ITR Connect - NEW INFROMATION SERVICE - launching in Q3 – covering research, analytics, insights & ratings on InsurTechs

We have been working hard on our new rating, analytics and information service on InsurTechs and are actively recruiting founder members to develop the service further. This subscription service is designed to give your teams quality information and analysis on InsurTechs to allow you to make faster, more efficient and better-informed decisions on your future technology partners and/or investment positions.

Do you want to get more involved in the TDI community?

We continue to expand our volunteer News Correspondent network, which helps to provide additional insights on digital insurance taking place around the world. Some of our correspondents are also starting to produce regional blogs. Let us know if you are interested in a correspondent or blog contributor role.

On a final note, please continue to share your digital insurance experiences and reports to news@the-digital-insurer.com and thanks as usual for your readership, ongoing support and suggestions for improvements and new services.
