Second Insurance IMT, to hold conference Sept 28

The Second InsureTech will be holding its conference September 28 and 29, in the industry and on the continent this year, at the Civic Centre Victoria Island, Lagos which has been themed, “Unlocking Policy and Tech Bottlenecks Hindering Disruptive Insurance Penetration,” IMT 2.0, will feature prominent players in government, finance, health tech, and telecom sectors, as well as prime sub-sectors players in insurance and insurtech.

They will brainstorm, untangle, and evolve viable solutions to the challenges of insurance penetration in Nigeria and across Africa.

The Conference will feature policymakers, regulators, keynote speakers, and sector leaders in panel discussions, exhibitions, specialised masterclasses, and product and service demos, providing a platform for stakeholders to share ideas, insights, and experiences on how to leverage technology to drive insurance penetration and improve the insurance industry’s efficiency and effectiveness, such as its use of data analytics to improve underwriting and claims management processes; cyber insurance; and the role of web aggregators in the industry’s value chain.

It will also culminate in a gala and awards evening to recognise excellence and outstanding contributions to the industry.

With the COVID-19 pandemic and enabling government policies accelerating the adoption of digital technologies, IMT 2.0 is expected to be a catalyst for the digital transformation of the insurance industry in Nigeria and across Africa.

According to the Convener of the conference, Odion Aleobua, “IMT 2.0 will be a game-changer for the industry.”

He noted that it would build on the successes of the first and provide stakeholders with more opportunities to network, collaborate, and explore innovative solutions to the challenges facing the industry.
