Miss This & The Market Will Pass You

It’s no secret that risk selection, pricing, and actuarial science are accelerating. Regulation is shifting. Distribution is rewiring. And agentic AI is moving from hype to reality. During this first-of-its-kind Guidewire event, you’ll gain critical insights into:

  • The Latest Industry Intel on Today’s Biggest Challenges & Opportunities
    Chris Folkman, Guidewire VP of Product Management for Analytics, addresses the top opportunities, challenges, and strategic imperatives facing the industry.

  • The Role of Human Judgement in an AI-Driven Underwriting World
    Industry luminary Seth Rachlin shares insights on the evolving role of judgement-based underwriting as advanced forms of AI become increasingly pervasive on underwriting desks.

  • Mastering Current Pricing & Underwriting Trends
    Guidewire Director of Product Management Alex Prajescu provides an in-depth look at evolving trends in P&C pricing and what it means for the industry.

  • Leveraging Next-Gen External Data to Supercharge Pricing & Risk Selection
    Guidewire Portfolio Advisor Sean Haverson showcases how an ever-expanding universe of external data is making it easier to improve risk segmentation and make better underwriting decisions.

  • Frequent Rate Filings: Game Changer, or Distraction
    The rate change process is slow, highly regulated, and infrequent. Guidewire Sr. Director of Advanced Analytics Chris Cooksey poses the question: What if it were fast and frequent, instead?
