Robots Take Over Life Insurance Conference

One of the breakout sessions on the getaway day, Wednesday, will focus on use of blockchain technology in the insurance industry.

Four major life industry groups — LOMA, LIMRA, the Society of Actuaries and the American Council of Life Insurers — team up to organize the Life Insurance Conference events.

The groups created the conference series at a time when life insurers were devoting more energy to selling products such as annuities, disability insurance and long-term care insurance. The groups’ goal was to offer a major event that would focus solely on life insurance.

In recent years, the organizers have included more sessions with a focus on technology than on regulatory matters.

This year, organizers are offering one breakout session with a focus on  the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and two that will give attendees an update on the U.S. Department of Labor’s fiduciary rule.
