Hosting the event for the ninth time now, msg is excited to be inviting insurance companies to the international insurance conference munich (inscom). This year’s event will focus on cross-disciplinary digital business models.
Following the motto of “Beyond Insurance – How to Survive in a Digital World?”, msg will be hosting the industry event inscom in Munich for the ninth time on September 24 and 25, 2018. Numerous high-profile speakers have been invited, among them Andreas Nolte, CIO of Allianz Deutschland; Antony Jacob of Amazon Web Services; as well as special guest former minister of finance Theo Waigel.
Driven by innovative technologies, changed customer demands and new players, the insurance market itself is changing even faster than before. Those who want to benefit from digital transformation must be willing to constantly continue their own development, as well as rethink their insurance business.
How can insurance companies successfully and sustainably compete in these ecosystems? How can they find new channels for reaching customers and penetrate business fields? Both customer-oriented business models and digital customer experiences, not to mention collaboration and strategic partnerships, are essential for doing so. Above all, in the wake of its digital transformation, the insurance industry must start thinking beyond the limits of yesterday.
That is why msg will be offering decision makers from well-known insurance companies the opportunity for in-depth exchanges with industry experts, presentations and a thought-provoking panel discussion on trends, strategies and IT solutions, all taking place at the Hilton Munich Park Hotel on September 24 and 25, 2018. The following items on the agenda are among this year’s highlights:
- Keynote by Dr. Andreas Nolte, CIO of Allianz Deutschland on the topic of “Open Platform”
- Keynote by Jürgen Weiss, Managing Vice President of Global Financial Services Industry Research and Advisory, Gartner on the topic of “Digital Platforms and Business Ecosystems – Why Insurance CIOs Need to Act Now”

In addition to the official agenda, big players from the industry appreciate this opportunity to enjoy in-depth exchanges among themselves. inscom provides the perfect platform for informal discussions between executives and is a great occasion for networking.
“Digitalization has created a new framework and new rules for the insurance industry. At inscom 2018, experts at the top of their fields will share strategies and solutions for benefiting from digital transformation. Companies that want to remain competitive must act quickly to link topics such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to end-to-end processes and rule-based systems,” explains Hans Zehetmaier, CEO of msg. “Industry limits will begin to blur and brand new ecosystems will start appearing on the market. Insurers must act now – and we intend to use inscom to give them the suggestions and inspiration they need to do so.”
