FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Highly Anticipated InsurTech North Conference Rescheduled to Run Online April 22-23, 2021
Toronto, Ontario (November 10, 2020)
MSA Research is pleased to advise that InsurTech North has been rescheduled to run online on April 22-23, 2021. The 2021 virtual event is a revitalization of the 2020 in-person event delayed due to the COVID-19 emergency. Given the prolonged duration of the pandemic, ITN’s advisory committee felt that it was very important for the InsurTech ecosystem to convene virtually.
InsurTech North is a forum for digital leaders, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists in the property and casualty (P&C) and life/health insurance space.
Be in the virtual room as conference speakers discuss insurance technology investment, which technologies are in demand, and where in the value chain innovation is happening. Riveting sessions will focus on cross-ecosystem challenges worth reconstructing, how the insurance workforce will work with technology in the future, and which friction points can be solved by tech in the customer insurance experience.
“We are working with our amazing advisory committee to finalize the agenda which will be re-released early in the new year,” said Joel Baker, MSA Research CEO. “Those who have already registered will be contacted by our team with more information over the coming weeks.”
“I picked this conference in particular because of the networking value,” said Aly Dhalla, CEO and Co-Founder, Finaeo and recipient of the 2019 Wolf Pack Start Up Pitch Competition. “In fact, InsurTech North created one of our (Finaeo’s) first partnerships,” shared Dhalla.
The agenda and format of InsurTech North is shaped by a world-class advisory committee of diverse leaders including:
- Mukul Ahuja, Partner, Strategy & Artificial Intelligence, Financial Services & Insurance Leader, Omnia AI, Deloitte
- Jan Arp, Founding Managing Partner, Holt Accelerator
- Sue Britton, CEO & Founder, Fintech Growth Syndicate (FGS)

“In short, what’s impressed me is the huge variety of attendees from P&C and Life Co., individual and group, VCs and other advisors to the community”, said Keegan Iles, Partner, PwC, and returning Wolf Pack Pitch Competition Leader, “The networking as a result is fantastic,” continued Iles, “and when you look around, there are real deals going down.
