We are working and living in a time that requires us to think, act and win at the digital edge. This place, the digital edge, has disrupted many industries already, and it is only a matter of time before digital innovation significantly transforms insurance. Gregory will explore how four aspects of the digital edge will impact insurance and provide the bridge to your firm's future.

With the overall theme of the conference focusing on innovation - everything from the definition, properties, trends, application to the insurance sector, and challenges - this session will focus specifically on how innovation looks in the Latin American market.

The focus on this panel will be on new advancements and innovations related to predictive analytics, big data, and underwriting as it relates to insurance and financial services. Panelists will discuss how new technologies are making it easier than ever to do business and increase customer engagement, as well as share current trends, and what we can expect to see coming next year – both in the short term, and long term future

Augusto Diaz-Leante will share his firsthand experiences, challenges and lessons learned since founding Mundi Lab, Munich Re’s Insurance Tech acceleration program.  The program, which targets early stage companies with innovations to disrupt the insurance industry, aims to find new solutions for making insurers more efficient while also reaching a broader customer base. Attendees will gain a better understanding of both the motivation and vision behind the program, as well as different cooperation models and best practices for implementing a similar program within their own company. 

Fraud in insurance is wide-spread, expensive, and not easy to identity or prove. Join this session to hear two leading companies are fighting fraud against insurance companies in the areas of underwriting, claims, and administration. Attendees will learn how to combat fraud early on, identifying subtle relationships to uncover fraud rings, and preventing loss with the use of cutting edge technology and industry global best practices. We’ll take a look at trends across the world, examine several real world examples, and discuss steps one health insurer is using to minimize the impact of fraud.

This panel presentation will be a multimarket showcase of what companies are doing to help their agents stay ahead of the game by adding value to their sales approach and keep up with the competition in the areas of productivity, retention, case size, and professionalism.

Gustavo Cantú Durán will address how different social media communication channels can help insurance companies to have a better focus on and understanding of the customer.

We are all part of the digital society, and this constant connectivity has made us the first digital generation. Ultimately though - despite being an economy powered by intangible items like bits, clouds, mobile & social networks, alliances, perceptions, talent and common sense – it is only a customer-centric economy that is truly sustainable.
