The Global InsurTech Summit USA 2026 returns to New York on October 22

FinTech Global, a specialist research firm, will return to New York for the annual Global InsurTech Summit USA 2026 on October 22, connecting senior-level industry leaders with InsurTech innovators and solution providers.

Taking place at Ease 605, New York, the event will feature a dynamic programme of panel discussions, presentations, live product demonstrations and networking opportunities.

As the insurance market enters a soft market, many insurance firms will be looking for new InsurTech tools to help them stay competitive. Those that choose to stay on the sidelines risk being left behind.

Recent research from FinTech Global found that the investment volume in the US InsurTech sector is expected to grow by 47%. Having steadily declined each year since the post-pandemic boom, 2026 could mark a return to growth for the sector. US InsurTech companies raised a total of $1.7bn across 52 deals in H1 2026, a 90% increase in funding compared with the $870.9m recorded in H1 2025.

Against this backdrop, the Global InsurTech Summit USA 2026 is an exclusive gathering designed to connect senior-level industry professionals with leaders across the sector. It boasts a 2:1 buyer-to-seller ratio, with 81% of attendees being director level or above.

To maximise the value of connections made on the day, the event has partnered with matchmaking app Brella. Guests can connect with other delegates based on their interests and event goals and easily arrange meetings, with the event boasting a 51% meeting acceptance rate in previous years.

Other app features include easy access to the event agenda and the ability to engage with speakers and peers via interactive Q&As, surveys and polls.

Agenda highlights include sessions exploring the forces reshaping insurance in 2026 and beyond, scaling AI across the insurance value chain, reimagining claims for the digital-first world and delivering personalised, omnichannel customer experiences. The event will feature a range of expert speakers from firms including Arch Insurance, Gallagher Bassett, AXA, Munich Re, Aon and many more.

"Insurance is entering a period of significant change, with technology, AI and evolving customer expectations reshaping the industry. The Global InsurTech Summit USA 2026 provides an opportunity for insurers and InsurTech leaders to come together, share practical insights and explore the technologies that will help shape the future of insurance." said FinTech Global director Richard Sachar.
