WEBINAR: An Introduction to Blockchain and Cryptocurrency and the impact on Insurance

  • Wed 09 Nov 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
    • Gary Nuttall

Blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technology, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general keep appearing in the news. Whether it’s about ransomware, the dark web, money laundering or fraud, it tends to have only bad stories written about it. There’s also a lot of hype too as Bitcoin keeps going up in price, “DeFi” is the next big thing and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT’s) are the latest craze. The digital artist known as Beeple recently raised $69 Million from the auction of an NFT. The technology is full of buzzwords which makes it difficult to appreciate that it does offer some radical alternatives to how businesses operate and could have a transformative effect – particularly in insurance. The session is intended for those who wish to gain an understanding of blockchain core concepts, use cases and relevance to insurance. It is designed to be business, rather than technical, focused and no prior knowledge of Blockchain is required.

Human v Automated Decision Making : have we gone too far in insurance and financial service

  • Wed 13 Jul 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
    • Jeff Heasman

This session is aimed at all our insurance members - General & PFS We have reached a critical crossroads in the digitization and automation of processes within insurance and financial services. Some say that we have already gone too far and the human element is being continuously eroded, whereas others believe we have not gone far enough and that insurance and financial services continues to lag behind other professions. There is a fine balance to be struck. Based on doctoral research being conducted by Jeff Heasman and other sources of research and industry insights, this thought-provoking webinar will examine both sides of the debate and suggest a way forward to ensure the best possible outcome for the profession and for our clients.

Cyber Webinar

  • Fri 24 Jun 9:30 am – 9:35 am

We've listened to your feedback that Cyber Insurance is still a 'dark art' and a CPD session helping you to understand the cover and explain this to your clients would be welcomed. This session, by Neil Park (Study Leader of the Insurance Institute of London Cyber risks study group), will provide 4 Cyber Loss Scenarios You Should Use to Test and Demonstrate the Coverage Provided Under Your Customers’ Cyber Insurance Policies Cyber insurance policies are newer, less tested and arguably trickier to understand than property damage/business interruption policies so brokers and insurers must be able to clearly explain to customers the coverage and any limitations to the coverage to prevent similar policy disputes
