Technology, technology, technology.

It seems that everywhere you turn—someone in the insurance industry is talking about the power of technology. But at the end of the day—a claim is a loss, and losses are emotional things.

And no matter how you look at it—people are better at handling at emotions than robot.

That's why on today's episode of FNO: InsureTech, we are gathering for a roundtable discussion at the PLRB conference.

The featured speakers are:

• Dan Moore, QBE North America
• Scott Sprague, Westfield Insurance
• Pat Sinnard, Great American Insurance
• Jill Thomas, National General Insurance
• John Hall, Worley/ASI
• Mick Zondory, Kemper Preferred
• Bo Helms, Shelter insurance
• Matt D. Fatheree, Fourseventy Claims

Tune in to this episode to hear the group's insights as they span from managing employee expectations to the future of insurance technology.

The FNO: Tips

• Today, now more than ever, recruiting college graduates to the insurance
• Technology's best fit in the claims process is getting the claim into the system
• In addition to getting data faster, insuretech technologies are engaging the customer in never-before-seen ways
• Accuracy of information is most important in the FNOL part of the process
• Taking accurate photographs of damage is not an intuitive process
• Lenders are much more risk-averse than the consumer
• It's usually not the first person to invent the technology that fits it into the market perfectly
• Hover's initial contracts were with the military, then pivoted to insurance
• Technology doesn't make money until there's standardization
