Exploring the Evolving Role of FinTech and InsurTech on Runoff Issues In this session the presenters will explore the ever-increasing significance of technology in the runoff space in light of how technology is impacting the business of insurance and the financial sectors.
On-Demand, Usage-based, and Micro Insurance New InsurTech product innovations such as on-demand insurance, usage-based insurance, and micro insurance rely on emerging technologies to provide limited, use-specific insurance for certain types of risk. This session will address the broader implications of such products, including partnerships with traditional insurers to underwrite risks, and what insurers can learn from InsurTechs as they develop their own innovations and digital initiatives.

Insuring Cannabis A discussion of the growing cannabis industry and some of the issues/gaps in current coverage for cannabis businesses. A look at how the California Insurance Commissioner has addressed regulating the cannabis insurance industry, and highlight the potential role insurance regulators can play as the cannabis industry continues to grow and as insurance companies attempt to insure the risks associated with it.
