ITC Vegas | Cognizant Kickoff Summit

How Insurers Are Creating Exponential Advantage Today

Insurance is entering a new era, powered by data and AI. Shifting the expense and experience frontiers through technology-powered transformation is on the agenda. At Cognizant, we call this "creating exponential advantage," as incremental improvement strategies are now being replaced with strategies aimed at doing things radically faster and cheaper.

Our dynamic and interactive program will bring you insights into strategies that fully leverage data and AI, and modern approaches that deliver value efficiently and reliably. The experience of insurance is changing. Are you ready?

Who should attend

Insurer technology and business leaders who need to know where the industry is headed, and are looking for industry perspectives from their peers
Analysts and advisors seeking to hone their awareness of the latest technology
Players in the insurance tech ecosystem who want to understand how value is created

What to expect

As attendees of recent Cognizant insurance events can attest, you should expect a dynamic and interactive event that leverages Cognizant’s amazing client base. Thought leadership sessions will be complemented by ample opportunities for discussion. And Cognizant solutions that leverage our industry partners will be on display as well.
