Expert Keynote Presentation: Designing Digital-First Journeys That Convert Across Channels
Saurabh Saraf -
Chief Digital Officer,
Amica Insurance
Insurers often earn trust after purchase - during service and claims - while asking customers to make a complex commitment before they have experienced that value. Drawing on Amica's work across discovery, quote and bind, service and renewal, this session will examine how insurers can make trust tangible earlier through clarity, continuity and customer choice.
It will explore where customer intent is lost across product, price, eligibility, experience and channel handoffs; how AI-enabled discovery and personalization can reduce uncertainty; and how digital and human channels can work together to improve conversion, resolution, retention and long-term value. Takeaways:
- Translate brand and service trust into earlier customer confidence and digital growth.
- Design digital-first—not digital-only—journeys that combine self-service with contextual human assistance.
- Align marketing, digital, product, underwriting, sales, service, data and technology around shared journey outcomes.
Trust is built in the moments that matter most. In the face of growing operational complexity, fraud threats, regulatory pressure and rising customer expectations, insurers must be ready to respond quickly, confidently & at scale.
This discussion will explore how insurers are strengthening resilience across compliance, fraud and risk through smarter operating models, automation and improved cross-functional coordination. Join to be part of a conversation exploring:

Expert Keynote Presentation: Designing Experiences for a Multi- Generational, Multi-Expectation Internal & External Customer Base
Carey Bond -
Head of Claims, Americas,
Lloyds
Many of the most frustrating insurance experiences aren't caused by decisions but by what customers aren't told, or are told inconsistently or are complex to comprehend. This session examines how communication breakdowns across channels, teams and partners undermine confidence and increase avoidable service demand.
• Identifying critical communication gaps across claims, service and digital journeys
• Improving continuity between digital updates, written communications and human interactions
• Reducing re‑explanation and repeated contact caused by poor internal alignment
