Exhibitors, pitches teed up for InsurtechLIVE next week

The insurtech community is invited to the February 15 afternoon event at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA) where senior executives from QBE, Hollard, Honey, Munich Re and other insurance experts will share their insights. It will be attended by more than 25 insurtechs as well as 15 insurers and IA corporate partners.
