Day 2

Keynote

Creativity and Innovation in a Regulated World

Innovation in insurance doesn’t start with technology — it starts with how we think. In an industry shaped by regulation, legacy systems, and rising expectations for transparency and fairness, creativity becomes a strategic advantage. Duncan Wardle, former Head of Innovation & Creativity at Disney, shows brokers how to unlock new ideas inside a system built on rules, how to design experiences that feel more human in an AI‑accelerated world, and how to collaborate across carriers, regulators, and partners to build what comes next.

Day 1

Keynote

Connecting with Clarity

In an industry facing increasing complexity, clarity has become one of the broker’s most powerful advantages. In this energizing keynote, Canadian entrepreneur and Dragons’ Den star Manjit Minhas shares how brokers and leaders can connect more effectively by simplifying complexity, communicating with confidence, and building trust in every interaction.
