The use of technology in the UK general insurance sector does not sit still.

Whether artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to streamline claims processes, or machine learning is tackling fraud detection, new and ever-evolving technologies are continuing to present a myriad of use cases across UKGI.

Insurance Times is committed to being at the forefront of content delivery on this subject, to ensure that brokers, insurers, MGAs and suppliers in the general insurance market can stay up to date and informed on the role and application of different technologies.

Insurance Times’ exclusive TechTalk brand showcases breaking technology and insurtech news, in-depth analysis and thought provoking interviews to keep market participants at the cutting edge of sector-wide technology developments.

Not only is TechTalk delivered online and in print, but Insurance Times’ TechTalk Live series – sponsored by Hiscox – presents a regular event programme designed to explore the evolving role of technology in the insurance industry.

TechTalk Live includes four dedicated events for brokers and four distinct events for insurers, raising pertinent technology discussion points for each audience.

TechTalk coverage features topics such as:

  • AI, generative AI and machine learning.
  • Digital transformation and modernisation.
  • ETrading and digital trading routes.
  • Front end and back office technology propositions.
  • Cyber risks.
  • Emerging technology trends, risks and opportunities.
  • Innovative technology case studies.

TechTalk is the UKGI sector’s platform for staying ahead on relevant technologies.

The first event in the TechTalk Live series was a webinar that took place at 10am on 3 April 2025
