Thursday Keynotes On the Main Stage
The main stage at ITC Vegas spotlights the most anticipated conversations of the year. This is where the future of innovation and transformation happens! See below for Thursday’s lineup. Additional speakers and sessions will be announced soon.
Reinventing the home in a changing climate
Construction costs are climbing, resilience is no longer optional, and homeowners expect more than they did a decade ago. Jonathan Scott — entrepreneur, home renovation expert, and co-founder of Scott Brothers Global — explores how new technology is reshaping the built environment. Drawing on renovating 1,000+ homes and his 2025 investment in AI-driven water intelligence company Phyn, Jonathan discusses what's actually changing in how homes are built, protected, and insured, and what that shift means for an industry rethinking risk from the ground up.
AI liability: Insuring the economy's fastest-growing risk
AI is moving from experimentation into everyday operations - creating enormous value and an entirely new class of liability at the same time. Insurers already hold silent AI exposure across existing casualty lines, while their largest clients are beginning to demand affirmative cover. This session opens with the first public reveal of The Spark's AI Liability Heat Map - mapping nearly 90 real-world AI incidents to insurance exposure - followed by a fast-paced discussion with senior leaders from Aon, QBE, Swiss Re and McDermott Will & Schulte: how insurance can underwrite, manage and ultimately prevent AI losses - and where the next claims will come from.
Stop Buying AI. Start Shipping it
Insurance doesn't have an AI shortage, it has a shipping problem. In the Action Economy, the moat isn't what you know. It's what goes live.
