Big ‘I’ Announces Inaugural Insurtech Summit

January 18-20, 2023 in Savannah, Georgia
Published: December 1, 2022

ALEXANDRIA, VA, December 1, 2022—The Big “I” is proud to announce it will hold its inaugural Big “I” InsurTech Summit on Jan. 20, 2023, in Savannah, Georgia, as part of the Big “I” Winter Meeting which runs Jan. 18-21.

The 90-minute InsurTech Summit will feature two panels of groundbreaking InsurTechs, forward-thinking agents and other digital thought leaders in the independent agency space. It will be the first in a series of events held throughout the year to encourage independent agents and brokers to learn about and embrace the game-changing InsurTech technology that is increasingly available to them.

“Our intent is to demystify InsurTech for agents and brokers and lay out what it is—and isn’t—for them,” says Bob Rusbuldt, Big “I” president & CEO. “InsurTech is here to stay and will continue to evolve, just as the independent agent channel will. The innovation and advantages it brings to Big ‘I’ members and their clients is important to understand and embrace. This will be a great chance for agents and brokers to learn about the best ways to make InsurTech work for them.”

The summit will provide insights on different facets of InsurTech and their relevance and role in the future of the independent agency channel.

“With so many innovative solutions available in the marketplace, InsurTechs can provide great value to the independent agent channel,” said Sean Ramalho, senior vice president, enterprise distribution, Travelers. “As a carrier committed to the industry’s transformation and success, Travelers is proud to sponsor an event dedicated to helping agents and brokers better understand the ever-expanding InsurTech landscape.”

The morning of the summit, the Big “I” and TrustedChoice.com also plan to host a series of InsurTech podcasts featuring several hosts and participants from the summit.
