5 Conversations Leaders Are Coming to Formation ’26 to Have

Formation ’26 | Agents of Innovation

Less disruption. More profitability. Better decisions.

Everyone is talking about insurance modernization. Few are navigating it without breaking what already works.

Core transformation, AI adoption, rising cost pressure, and evolving customer expectations are colliding at once. The challenge for leaders isn’t whether to modernize — it’s how to move fast without introducing risk, fragmentation, or organizational drag.

That’s where Formation ’26 fits.

Formation isn’t just about learning what’s new. It’s about pressure-testing strategy, aligning teams, and leaving with clarity on what to do next.

Here’s how leaders actually use Formation ’26.

#1 Pressure-Test Your Modernization Strategy Against Reality

Modernizing core systems without disrupting operations remains the number one concern for carriers — and for good reason. The cost of getting it wrong is high.

At Formation ’26, leaders hear directly from carriers who have:

• Modernized without breaking production
• Phased transformation to reduce risk
• Avoided costly missteps others didn’t

This isn’t theory. It’s real-world execution. And when teams attend together, those lessons translate into alignment, speed, and fewer false starts once you’re back home.

#2 Decide Where AI Belongs — and Where It Doesn’t

AI is no longer optional — but indiscriminate adoption is risky. At Formation ’26, leaders focus on practical AI:

• Where AI delivers measurable value today
• How to apply it responsibly in regulated environments
• Where human oversight still matters most

The goal isn’t more AI. It’s better decisions, faster execution, and lower risk.

You’ll leave with clarity on what to prioritize now — and what can wait.

#3 Influence the Direction of the Insurance Ecosystem

The most valuable moments at Formation don’t happen on stage.

They happen:

• In small-group conversations
• In peer discussions across roles and carriers
• In honest exchanges about what’s working — and what’s not

Formation is where leaders shape the dialogue, not just listen to it. If you’re not in the room, the ecosystem still moves forward — just without your voice.

#4 Find the Right Partners — Without the Noise

With so many Insurtech options, knowing where to invest is harder than ever. The Innovation Launchpad brings vetted, integrated partners into one place — so leaders can:

• Separate signal from hype
• See how solutions work together
• Learn from carriers already using them in production

Modernization doesn’t happen all at once. Formation helps leaders identify the next right move — and the partners who make it work.

#5 Leave with a Roadmap, Not Just Ideas

Ideas don’t create value. Execution does. Every Formation session is designed to bridge strategy and action — so leaders leave with:

• Clear next steps
• Practical frameworks
• Confidence to move forward

When teams attend together, those insights become a shared roadmap — turning momentum into measurable progress.

Why Formation ’26 Is Different

Other events talk about innovation. Formation is where leaders decide how to act on it.

2026 will reward carriers who move with clarity and intent — not those who wait.
