Building the MGAs of the future

Wednesday, September 30, 2026
Capacity Connect Summit

To build the "MGA of the Future," one must move beyond traditional administrative functions and operate as a high-fidelity, data refinery operating in the insurance industry. Today, the competitive advantage for an MGA lies in the marriage of actuarial rigor with real-time, AI-driven feedback loops. What MGAs may lack compared to insurance carriers in history, brand, and size, they can make up for with high performing leaders running nimble operations on modern tech stacks. Hear from four successful MGA CEOs on a panel by a moderator who has vast coverage of the industry.
