Insurance Leaders Summit at ITC

Why AI Transformations Stall in the Race to Operationalize AI

September 29, 2026 | Las Vegas, NV

Why Attend the Insurance Leaders Summit at ITC

Datos Insights brings you a premier gathering of insurance leaders who are redefining how intelligence is leveraged to run the business. This forum explores how carriers move from AI experimentation to execution — building systems that learn, recalibrate, and deliver sustained value.

Don’t take our word for it. Our attendees say it best. 
“The roundtables have been extraordinarily valuable.” 
“You give a little. You take a little. It’s really wonderful.” 

If you are navigating AI, modernization, and organizational change all at once, this is where practical insight and peer exchange come together to move transformation forward. 

Rewiring Insurance for Continuous Intelligence

Ignite your ITC Las Vegas experience with a hard look at the uncomfortable reality facing insurance leaders: most AI transformations stall long before they reach enterprise scale. Datos Insights’ Insurance Leaders Summit on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 brings together senior insurance executives for candid conversations around the operational, organizational, and governance failures slowing the race to operationalize AI. 

Centered on the theme “Why AI Transformations Stall in the Race to Operationalize AI,” this executive forum moves beyond AI hype and isolated productivity wins to examine what actually breaks when insurers attempt to scale AI across underwriting, claims, servicing, and enterprise operations. From workflow fragmentation and governance gridlock to workforce disruption, disconnected architectures, and rising cost pressures, attendees will explore the barriers preventing AI from delivering enterprise-wide impact. 

Through proprietary Datos Insights research, executive panels, innovation sessions, and peer-led discussions, insurance leaders will gain practical insight into how carriers are redesigning workflows, operating models, governance structures, and enterprise coordination to accelerate scalable AI execution—and avoid falling behind competitors moving faster toward intelligent operations.

Insurance Decision Makers

Senior insurance executives and leadership teams responsible for navigating the operational realities of enterprise AI adoption across the insurance business. This includes CIOs, CTOs, COOs, chief strategy officers, enterprise architects, and leaders overseeing underwriting, claims, servicing, policy administration, governance, and enterprise transformation as organizations race to operationalize AI at scale.

Business and Operational Leaders

Leaders responsible for underwriting, claims, servicing, operations, and customer experience across insurance organizations. These executives are focused on how AI can improve workflow coordination, operational efficiency, decision consistency, and enterprise execution while addressing governance complexity, organizational friction, scalability challenges, and rising pressure for measurable business value.

Strategy, Innovation, and Transformation Leaders

Executives and teams leading modernization, AI strategy, digital transformation, and operational redesign initiatives across the insurance enterprise. Discussions will focus on why AI transformations stall once organizations move beyond isolated pilots, and how insurers are redesigning operating models, governance structures, and enterprise coordination to support scalable AI execution.

Select Technology Providers

A curated group of technology and solution providers supporting insurers as they operationalize AI across underwriting, claims, servicing, governance, enterprise architecture, and operational workflows. Participating organizations are expected to contribute practical insight, implementation experience, and real-world perspectives grounded in the operational and transformation priorities facing insurance carriers today.

I've come to many of these conferences over the years, and in each one I walked away with 3, 4, 5 different insights that I didn't have when I walked in the door. There's always a different level of creative thinking and strategic and kind of forward-thinking that the Datos analysts bring
