Underwriting is being rewritten - in real time

Date: Tuesday, September 29
Time: 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Underwriting decisions are shaping profitability — often with incomplete data and increasing uncertainty — and the margin for error is shrinking.  

Today’s underwriting: 

  • Is continuously challenged by new risks that are not yet fully understood  

  • Requires faster decisions with less historical certainty 

  • Increasingly balances individual risk decisions with portfolio-level outcomes  

The gap between strategy and day-to-day underwriting decisions remains significant…but this Summit closes that gap.  

What you'll walk away with

A clear view of how underwriting roles evolve in an AI-native desk
Real examples of integrating external risk intelligence into decisions
Insights for making better decisions; impacting portfolio performance and underwriting outcomes

Who you’ll be in the room with

→ Senior underwriters and chief underwriting officers

→ Leading global P&C carriers

→ Brokers shaping underwriting strategy

It is a peer-level environment focused on execution.

Why this matters to you

We don’t talk about what underwriting could look like - this Summit shows:

→ What is already being implemented

→ Where it is working

→ Where it is failing

This Summit is for

This is not just for leadership — it’s designed for the teams making underwriting decisions every day. 

→ Underwriters across all levels — from junior practitioners to senior leadership 

→ Leaders navigating AI adoption and governance 

→ Teams focused on underwriting transformation
