SVIA Digital Insurance Leadership Workshop: SMB Insurance – Rise of the Digital Generation – September 25

First up, we’ll once again be joining forces with our friends at SVIA, this time for a digital insurance leadership workshop for SMB insurers held in Palo Alto. The event is designed for senior executives and their teams to gain comprehensive insight into how they can compete in a rapidly changing SMB market driven by digital innovation.

Cake & Arrow CEO and co-founder, Josh Levine, is slated to speak on the first day of the conference. His session, entitled Design Thinking: Product Design Roadmap to Organization Transformation, will take place on Tuesday, September 25 at 3:40 pm and will provide an overview of how Cake & Arrow partners with insurance companies to design new and innovative products and lay the groundwork for organizational transformation.

The session will be immediately followed up by a Cake & Arrow-lead workshop entitled Product Design & Customer Engagement for a Digital World in which participants will have the opportunity to experiment with design thinking, UX methodologies, and product innovation techniques to solve business problems and develop innovative concepts for how to better engage their customers.

Converge NADP Conference 2018 – September 26

After SVIA, we’ll head straight to Denver to participate in the Converge NADP(National Association of Dental Plans) conference. NADP is the representative and recognized resource of the dental benefits industry and Converge, its annual conference, is the premier professional development opportunity for the dental benefits industry.

Following Cake & Arrow’s recent research on insurance and the Gig Economy, Nabil Rahman, our Head of Product Strategy has been invited to speak about the Gig Economy and its impact on insurance, specifically as it applies to dental benefits. In his talk, Nabil will provide a broad overview of how the Gig Economy is shaping the U.S. Labor Force, the challenges it presents to insurers, and how dental insurers can repackage dental benefits, explore new distribution models, and learn from other industries to better position itself to sell insurance in the new economy.

His hour-long session is entitled Dental Insurance in the Age of the Gig Economy: Platforms, Positioning, and Distribution and will take place on the final day of the conference, September 26, at 3:15 pm.

Touting itself as the world’s largest gathering of insurance leaders and innovators, in just its third year, Insuretech Connect has become one of the industry’s most important conferences for networking, learning, and taking pulse of the insurance industry. We were able to leave the conference last year with valuable learnings that we still find relevant today and a lot of new industry friends.
