Beyond the Buzzwords – the insurtech conference organised by Insurance News and Insurtech Australia – takes place in Sydney on July 29, and discounted early bird tickets are now on sale.

The full-day event, supported by gold partners Instanda and Endava, breaks down how digital tools are transforming the industry.

Attendees can expect targeted sessions, panel discussions and live demonstrations, giving insight into the systems and platforms improving speed, service and certainty across the value chain. They will also earn eight ANZIIF CIP points and 4.25 NIBA CPD points.

Keynote speakers include Bizcover CEO Michael Gottlieb, who will explore the issue of agentic customers, and IVAA MD Matthew McHutchison discussing the threat from deepfakes and synthetic fraud.

The audience will then split into smaller groups for a series of more intimate masterclasses, which will enable greater interaction and discussion.

Masterclass sessions already confirmed include quantum computing readiness, managing third-party cyber risk, and accelerating electric vehicle adoption.

After lunch, the great tech debate will see teams argue whether tech is the “golden thread” that finally binds promises to delivery, or a “digital wedge” driving us further from the customer.

Debate participants include Simfuni CEO Shaun Quincey, Suncorp technology and business transformation lead Stuart Fisher, and CBN’s broking operations EGM Wendy Foweraker.

Details and tickets are available here, with more sessions and speakers still to be confirmed.
