When conditions change, winners accelerate.

Today, insurance remains a $3+ trillion industry, but growth is slowing, margins are tightening, and expectations from regulators, producers, and consumers continue to rise. In this environment, carriers are rethinking how technology, compensation, and compliance work together to support smarter growth.

In this year’s Running Start webinar, SILA and Vertafore explore what insurers are actively investing in—and moving away from—as they modernize distribution and prepare for the year ahead.

In addition to providing industry outlooks from a panel of experts, this session will focus on regulatory changes and their impacts inside carrier organizations.

Topics include:
  • Market opportunities, risks, and the overall outlook for the insurance industry
  • How real-time data, analytics, and compensation visibility are influencing placement
  • The regulatory implications of AI adoption and increased digital oversight
  • What carriers are leveraging to move forward and why integrated, end-to-end platforms are winning

Whether you’re responsible for compliance, distribution, technology, or strategy, this webinar offers a clear view into the forces shaping insurance in 2026.
