- The power of AI dominated conversations on Insly’s stand, following the launch of our new AI report
- The importance of a strong back end was another key theme to emerge from conversations
- The conference included impressive speakers and big announcements
Insly has just returned from The BIBA Conference 2025 in Manchester, the foremost insurance event of the year, with over 9,500 attendees, 230 exhibitors, and 50+ influential speakers. Hosting a stand at this year’s event, Insly had two highly productive days, demonstrating its end-to-end insurance software, its AI-powered broker submission tool, FormFlow, and launching its new report, AI in Insurance.
AI report attracts attention
Insly’s stand was buzzing across the two days, with visitors keen to improve their internal processes and/or increase their broker submission processing power. Many were attracted by our AI report and keen to know more about leveraging the technology within their business. Key questions included how to minimise risks around AI accuracy and what the future holds for the technology, in areas from underwriting to reporting.
Don’t underestimate a strong software backend
Fans of Insly also observed the importance of a strong backend when choosing insurance software, commenting that while a well-designed front-end might capture attention, it is irrelevant if the foundations don’t meet the specific needs of MGAs and insurers. Insly has made a name for itself by combining an intuitive interface with a comprehensive and customisable backend, built around the exact needs of MGAs and insurers.
Stars out in force for BIBA
Away from the Insly stand, the conference delivered an impressive speaker line-up including former England manager, Gareth Southgate, advocating for a strong office culture for young people; the boxer, Anthony Joshua, sharing lessons about resilience, leadership, and success; and Former Secretary of Defence, Penny Mordaunt, exploring how geopolitics and world conflict will shape business, risk and insurance in the coming years.
Big news for the industry
Finally, the conference was the platform for some big news for the insurance industry, including the announcement of BIBA’s first-ever national advertising campaign, which will promote insurance brokers to SMEs. According to BIBA CEO Graeme Trudgill, the campaign aims to reach “the business owners of the future who have grown up buying their personal insurance online,” and will run throughout May and June on multiple media channels.
Trudgill also welcomed the FCA’s new consultation paper, CP25/12, aimed at ‘Simplifying The Insurance Rules,’ following a campaign by BIBA for more proportionate regulation for low-risk insurance brokers.
That’s a wrap for another successful year at The BIBA Conference. If we met you on the stand, we look forward to continuing our discussions! And if we missed you but you’re keen to hear more, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
And congratulations to the winner of the iPad raffle on the Insly stand: Liam Smith from Mi Specialty.
