Insurance Meets Tech (IMT) 2024, a conference on insurance and technology, has opened its pre-event registration, with the conference set to take place on September 27, 2024, at the Balmoral Convention Center, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.

This year’s edition is poised to redefine the dialogue around insurance, combining high-level industry discussions with creative engagement strategies aimed at Millennials and Gen Z.

IMT 2024 will bring together over 20 prominent speakers from across the insurance, technology, and creative sectors.

Notable speakers include Olusegun Omosehin, Commissioner for Insurance and CEO of the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM); Niyi Onifade, CEO of Heirs Insurance Group; Abimbola Onakomaiya, President of the Professional Ladies Insurance Association (PILA); and Joey Akan, Founder/CEO of Afrobeats Intelligence.

Their participation underscores the conference’s commitment to fostering collaboration and driving innovation within the industry.

In a significant shift from previous editions, IMT 2024 introduces a new segment, IMT Redefined, which seeks to engage younger audiences by merging insurance discussions with lifestyle and creativity. Hosted by actor and content creator Elozonam Ogbolu, this segment will present insurance as an essential part of lifestyle protection, appealing to the interests of younger demographics. This approach aims to break down traditional perceptions of insurance, transforming it from a financial necessity into a relatable and indispensable aspect of everyday life.

The traditional format of the conference, IMT 3.0, will continue with its C-Suites series hosted by Aruoture Oddiri from Arise Media Group, bringing together senior executives, regulators, insurtech innovators, and technology experts to explore the future of the insurance landscape. Discussions will center on key trends such as digital transformation, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and data analytics, offering insights into the cutting-edge technologies reshaping the sector.

Convener of the event and CEO of Modion Communications, Odion Aleobua, expressed enthusiasm about the conference’s evolution, noting, “With IMT Redefined, we are not only providing a platform for high-level industry discourse but also tapping into new ways to make insurance relevant and engaging for all, particularly the younger generation.”

IMT 2024 promises to be a dynamic convergence of thought leaders, innovators, and creatives, set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving insurance landscape. With global companies like Microsoft, Ecobank, and Old Mutual West Africa expected to participate, the conference will highlight the global relevance of these discussions and provide ample networking opportunities for attendees.
