Agentic AI in Life Insurance, Annuities, and Group Benefits

Designed for senior technology, operations, strategy, data, analytics, and line of business leaders, this forum explores how AI-driven intelligence is being embedded across underwriting, new business, policy administration, claims, enrollment, and customer servicing.

  • Hear candid perspectives from carrier executives on what’s working in production today—not concepts or distant roadmaps
  • See how insurers and benefit providers are advancing AI use cases while navigating legacy core systems, product complexity, and regulatory expectations
  • Explore specific technologies applied within real workflows through executive panels and focused breakout sessions
  • Learn from curated solution partners addressing defined business challenges relevant to life insurance, annuities, and group benefits 

For leaders assessing where Agentic AI can move from experimentation to sustained operational value, this forum offers grounded insight into what is scalable, what requires disciplined execution, and how to evaluate next steps with confidence.

From AI Experiments to Operational Reality

Life insurance, annuities, and group benefits insurers are combining institutional knowledge, governed data, and Agentic AI to make the organization itself more intelligent. As these capabilities move into production, AI systems increasingly support coordination, analysis, and routine execution across underwriting, new business, policy administration, claims, enrolment, and servicing – freeing teams to focus on judgment, distribution relationships, and complex customer needs.

When insurer expertise and AI-enabled platforms operate together, organizations manage risk more effectively, personalize member and policyholder experiences more consistently, and identify new sources of value without waiting for full core replacement. Insurer-led panels provide candid implementation perspectives, while solution providers anchor breakout sessions around defined business challenges and demonstrate how their technologies are being applied within real workflows. The result is a more adaptive enterprise—positioned to strengthen growth, improve service, and respond confidently as expectations across life, annuities, and benefits continue to evolve.
