About the Event

FST Media’s flagship Insurance conference, the Future of Insurance, Sydney has established itself as a key tech conference in the APAC region.

Join us on Thursday, 3 March 2022 at The Hilton in Sydney alongside 500+ industry peers to discuss and debate the latest insights and transformational trends in technology and innovation.

While insurance industries across the globe were in the midst of transformation spurred on by digital and technological innovation, it all came to a crashing halt with the COVID-19 pandemic.

2021 was a tough year for insurers, but for the most innovative and tech-forward organisations, it was a time to reflect, rethink and re-align their transformation to manage the long-term effects of the pandemic. Industry trailblazers are seizing the opportunity to pivot their business model and focus on the customer experience that inevitably suffered last year.

Attend this year’s full-day conference as we re-launch our two-stream format to explore emerging digital trends, pioneering technologies and ground-breaking innovations that are shaping the insurance sector in 2022 and beyond.

Featured topics:

  • Digital claims management
  • Customer Experience (CX)
  • Digital strategies to increase transparency and simplify processes
  • Cloud technologies
  • Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
  • Product innovation
  • Internet of Things (IoT) and sensor tech
