Since our London Market event in October of 2022, Guidewire has successfully launched three major updates, enabling streamlined premium administration, accelerated claims processing, improved message handling and expanded management capabilities for complex programmes.

This event will also feature a fireside chat with Christian Kitchen, CIO - Travelers Europe, shining a light on the transformation journey that Travelers are undertaking with Guidewire as their strategic partner and a panel session with expert speakers, focusing beyond the foundational shift of Blueprint Two. Discussion will touch on what potential benefits this could unlock for insurers in their future state, if they embrace the change and couple adoption with transformation of their core systems to a digital, data-first operating model.
