BIG I InsurTech Summit: The Cyber Age

February 27, 2023

On the final edition of the three-part series from the Big “I” InsurTech Summit, Chris Cline, executive director of Agents Council for Technology, and Bill Haber, co-founder TEKRiSQ talk about the cyber age. Cyber is the new cost of doing business and agency owners need to be more proactive in their approach to data security—creating policies and having staff and services in place to prevent breaches. With the ramp-up of email, EFT fraud, and phishing, it’s also important for owners to become more resilient as well. Tune in for a future-focused talk on cyber.

The 2023 InsurTech Summit brought leaders together to discuss independent agencies and tech.

The Big “I” InsurTech Summit took place on Jan. 20, as part of the Big “I” Winter Meeting in Savannah, Georgia.

The 90-minute program consisted of two panels of InsurTech groundbreakers, forward-thinking agents and other digital thought leaders in the independent agency space. The InsurTech Summit was the first event to encourage independent agents and brokers and carriers to learn about and embrace game-changing technology that is increasingly available to them. The summit was presented by the Agents Council for Technology (ACT). Travelers served as the Diamond sponsor.

“The Big ‘I’ InsurTech Summit brought InsurTech leaders together to discuss all of the technology issues important to independent agents and brokers,” says Bob Rusbuldt, Big “I” president & CEO. “The Big ‘I,’ the Agents Council for Technology, and TrustedChoice.com are leading the way on InsurTech issues—both opportunities and challenges—for independent agencies and our industry. InsurTech has an array of meanings, but we are boiling it down to ensure independent agencies are the most efficient, effective and consumer friendly they can be in the marketplace.”

The summit provided insights on different facets of InsurTech and their relevance and role in the independent agency channel in the future.

free video recording of the summit is now available. The Big “I” InsurTech Task Force, chaired by Lou Moran III, principal of Inter-Agency Insurance Services in Knoxville, Tennessee, will announce the next InsurTech Summit in the near future.  The Agents Council for Technology (ACT) and the Big “I” InsurTech Task Force will review and evaluate the InsurTech Summit and the ACT Tech Summit in order to continue to bring the most value to members and carrier partners moving forward.
