Duck Creek Technologies, the intelligent core of insurance, will be at ITC Vegas 2026 showcasing its new agentic underwriting-to-core platform. In July, Duck Creek acquired Send, the underwriting orchestration platform, creating the industry's first and only agentic solution to unite core insurance operations and intelligent underwriting workflows across the policy lifecycle for multiple operating models.

Conference attendees will be able to learn more about the intelligent core at the Duck Creek (#2633) and Send booths (#1639). Duck Creek arrives at ITC Vegas with momentum, having recently been recognized by industry analysts as the most visionary provider of core insurance systems on the market today.

"We believe the insurers that will lead the market will be those that embrace Agentic AI by orchestrating underwriting, core systems, data, and decisioning on a single intelligent platform," said Tyler Jones, Chief Marketing Officer of Duck Creek.

"At ITC Vegas, we will show how Duck Creek is bringing that vision to life and helping insurers turn AI ambition into measurable business impact."

Speaking Sessions

Duck Creek leaders will also be speaking in four sessions:

  • Inside the Tech-Native Commercial & Specialty Insurer – Andy Moss, General Manager of Underwriting at Duck Creek and co-founder of Send, joins Charles Valinotti of Spinnaker Insurance Company to explore how underwriting is evolving as core systems and orchestration converge.
  • How Agentic AI is Providing Competitive Advantage – Hardeep Gulati, CEO at Duck Creek, joins Merideth Barnes-Cook of Datos Insights to discuss turning AI into a lasting competitive advantage across the policy lifecycle.
  • When Is It Time to Abandon Incrementalism? – Duck Creek CPO Jose Lazares joins Celent and Federato to discuss leaving legacy software paradigms behind.
  • The Orchestrated Carrier – Jose Lazares joins Slide Insurance CIO Gauthaman Krishnamurthy to discuss building on existing investments to reduce operational complexity.

"Modernization is not a finish line. It is the foundation insurers need to innovate and keep adapting as the market and their business evolve," said Jose Lazares, Chief Product Officer at Duck Creek.

"Slide's growth story shows what is possible when a modern platform, automation, and the right technology and service partnerships work together to reduce complexity and create more capacity for innovation. I look forward to exploring that journey with Gauthaman at ITC Vegas."

Booth & Demonstrations

Attendees can engage with Duck Creek and Send experts at both booths and see live demonstrations including Send Underwriting Orchestration, Duck Creek Suite, Duck Creek Policy, Duck Creek Claims, Duck Creek Reinsurance, and Duck Creek Loss Control.
