Beyond Faster Quotes: What Agentic AI Actually Changes for Specialty Underwriters. 7 July, 4.00pm CET
An expert panel on portfolio visibility and what specialty underwriters can realistically achieve with agentic AI in 2026.
Most conversations about AI in underwriting focus on speed. This one is different: how do underwriters move from making decisions one risk at a time to making every decision with full, live portfolio context?
Join Asanka Peiris (Principal, Process Automation, Export Development Canada), Nathan Golia (Senior Analyst, Celent) and Thiru Sivasubramanian (CPTO, Tinubu) for an open conversation on where the industry actually stands, what's working, and what comes next.
No slides. No sales pitch. Expect an open, candid discussion focused on perspectives, lessons learned, and open questions.
Why attend
-
Hear independent perspectives on where the industry actually stands on portfolio intelligence
-
Understand why only 7% of insurers have scaled AI beyond pilots, and what separates them
-
Gain honest views on governance, data quality, and organisational readiness
-
Walk away with a concrete first step, regardless of where you are on the journey
Moderated by Trade Finance Global.
