Welcome
Dear Colleagues,
“There is no reason anyone would want a
computer in their home.” Ken Olson
I am delighted to announce that this year’s E-Broking event will be taking place at the
Radisson, Stansted, on the 25 June, under the new name of Digital Broker - embracing
a FinTech future.
Over the last few decades we have experienced a phenomenal spike in technological
advancement that not even those at the helm of the revolution could predict.
Today, digital is so all encompassing that any company, no matter how large or
established in its market, runs the risk of becoming obsolete by ignoring the ever
evolving needs of the digital consumer.
It is clear that it is not just e-trade that brokers must embrace, but the whole digital
space, in order to become the successful digital brokers of the future.
Key topics for 2015:
•
•
•
•
•
Inspirational keynote speaker from Google
Case study: From HighTec to FinTech
Leverage top digital marketing trends by looking outside the industry
Gain a competitive edge by embracing fresh digital concepts
Interactive demonstrations: Latest e-broking technology in action
We believe that nurturing this area will help to future proof the UK insurance sector,
make it work better from within, and protect it from threats such as non-traditional
capital whilst allowing fresh ideas to thrive.
Now is the time. Go digital, or die.
Kind regards,
Emmanuel Kenning,
editor, Insurance Age

Sometimes it seems that our industry is worlds away from the rapid developments in tech and resulting

looking glass and see your world a fresh, full of exciting potential to engage with the rapidly evolving
connected world and its empowered consumers, today and tomorrow.

c) PowerPlace has changed
In today’s commercial lines insurance market, we recognise that all clients’ needs vary and that brokers require
different solutions to meet these needs. This means that one single method of trading electronically will not
suit all - this is why POWERPLACE HAS CHANGED.
Join PowerPlace for the unveiling of our new commercial strategy, where Nick Giddings, PowerPlace CEO, will
be discussing how our new commercial lines technology solution will help you to work with your preferred
insurers - the way you want to trade. Our new model now caters for SME and Complex risks, and we will be
demonstrating how these components of our e-trading solution, together with our original wholesale micro
proposition, can help you to meet the ever-growing needs of your SME clients. PowerPlace Associate Director,
Damian Baxter, will also be close at hand to answer any queries you may have about commercial e-trading, so
that you can offer a better service to your clients and grow successfully in this increasingly competitive
marketplace.

10.25 INTERACTIVE CASE STUDY: From HighTec to FinTech
Taking the leap from a leading high tech company to the very traditional broker market was always going to
be an exciting challenge. Join us to hear first-hand, the insights gleaned from making this transition at such a
pivotal time and how years of experience in digital marketing are now being applied to evolve the way we
work from the inside out. With the industry inevitably shifting, it is time take a step back and assess how we are
going to embrace a FinTech future.
