Summary

The summer is over and we're back in the Steelyard for our autumn season of evening events. There are many opportunities to find out what technology companies offering product and services to insurance have to offer, but how often do we know what the insurers really want? In this episode, from the first half of our Reverse Pitch event on 24 September,  Robin Merttens is on stage with our guests, finding out what they are up to and where they need help. Part Two coming soon. Who needs Vegas? Jamie Garratt, Head of Underwriting Strategy - Talbot (2:00) Madeleine Durand, Senior Strategy Manager -  Bupa (8.25) Jason Smith, Deputy Lead, Data Exchange - Experian (12.35) And our very own Paolo Cuomo in his new role as head of Strategy at Brit (18:00) No need to take notes - get the summary of what we heard at the event, and all 20 requests for help from our speakers in the article on the event specific section on  our website www.instech.london. You will also find photos from the event and the full agenda. Thanks to PKF Littlejohn for sponsorship of this event, and to Insurance Insider for their support for these podcasts. This autumn our podcasts are being supported by Insurance Insider and they are offering a free issue to all of our listeners. Download it from http://campaigns.insuranceinsider.com/instechlondon/
