Underwriting Track

The programs space is uniquely designed for the creation of innovative insurance products that best address the needs of the market. While traditional program launches can take up to two years to secure capacity and set up traditional business functions, this panel will speak to how underwriters are working with new ecosystems to leverage technology resources, data-driven insights, and industry experience to dramatically shorten that process. They will discuss what it takes to move fast, be smart about distribution, and succeed as an entrepreneur.
