AI Horizons 2030: Provocations for the Next Decade of Insurance

Picture this: A room alive with CEOs, visionary founders, and top investors debating the hottest topics: AI agents that outsmart fraudsters, platforms that predict risk before disaster strikes, sensors that provide real-time alerts, and ethical dilemmas that could make or break your brand.

Forget the average panel snoozefest—expect rapid-fire debates, live audience polls, and table wars over the toughest questions in AI ethics, human-machine collaboration, and the race to build trust in a world of deepfakes and data bias.

You’ll leave with insider strategies, new alliances, and the chance to shape your next emerging risk or emerging tech manifesto and set the agenda for years to come. If you want to be where the future of insurance is being written—by the people who will own it—this is the room you need to be in.

Don’t miss your seat at the table—where the future of insurance is being written, live. See you there!

Info: Step into a pivotal moment for insurance, where artificial intelligence is not just a tool for efficiency, but a catalyst for industry-wide transformation. This introduction will challenge you to look beyond the hype and consider AI’s true potential—and its ethical imperatives— when combined with other emerging technologies or when climate volatility, regulatory shifts, and rising customer expectations are rising. As leaders, you are called to architect a future where AI augments human expertise, drives fairness, and builds resilience. This introduction will set up the scene in context.

Info: Today, AI is redrawing the boundaries of insurance. Our question: Where will the next decade’s true value be created? This panel dares to ask: by 2030, will the most valuable insurance companies be those that own the customer, the data, the algorithms or more? As tech platforms and AI agents disrupt every link in the value chain, is it deep customer relationships, proprietary data streams, or cutting-edge algorithms that will define tomorrow’s winners? Or will value emerge from the convergence of all three? Join leading investors as they debate which bets will pay off—and which assumptions will be shattered—in the race to shape the insurance giants of 2030.

Info: By 2030, will the core of insurance be rewired so radically that human underwriters, brokers, and claims handlers become obsolete—or more essential than ever? This panel throws incumbents into the deep end of an AI-first-powered future: imagine a major claims event handled entirely by autonomous systems—what could go wrong, and what new risks emerge? As AI promises speed, precision, and scale, can trust, ethics, and human judgment keep pace? Senior executives from global insurers will debate provocative scenarios, challenge the myth of full autonomy, and confront the uncomfortable question: in a world of self-learning algorithms, what is the irreplaceable value of human expertise? Join us to explore whether survival means embracing AI, redefining roles, or fighting for relevance.

Info: Will the next insurance unicorn be a data juggernaut, a platform orchestrator, or an AI agent that outsmarts the market? This panel puts the spotlight on the growth ventures, startups and scaleups, rewriting the insurance value chain—challenging incumbents, regulators, and even the very definition of insurance itself. Founders and CEOs from the world’s most ambitious tech ventures will share their boldest visions for 2030, then face off in a moonshot challenge discussion: can they design protection for a world where every risk is tracked in real time? As the lines blur between disruptor and enabler, the audience will decide which technology—AI, robotics, sensors, or something yet unimagined—will truly reshape the industry. Are these ventures building the future of insurance, or are they building something that will make insurance as we know it obsolete?

Info: As we conclude, we will reflect on the powerful lessons and candid exchanges that defined 14 October's session. We hope those conclusions will extend beyond AI’s promise of efficiency to shape purposeful transformation actions, where ethical frameworks, human expertise, and cross-sector collaboration are essential.
