Underwriting is evolving rapidly from geopolitical risk and pricing pressure to EAI-assisted decisions. But how does it look from the perspective of the next generation?
This session gives the mic to early-career and emerging underwriting leaders to share what’s changing at the coal face, what tech is helping (or hindering), where risk feels hardest to quantify, and how they see the future of the discipline.
- What attracted these young professionals to underwriting, and does the reality live up to the role?
- How are they working with AI, data tools, and digital platforms in real-time underwriting decisions?
- What do they see as the biggest shifts in risk perception (e.g., climate, cyber, political) from the ground up?
- How should insurers support the next wave of underwriters through training, governance, or career structure?
