Paper Submission

1. InsurTech requires that submitted work has not been previously published elsewhere, or if it has, that Speakers have obtained permission for its publication by InsurTech and will promptly supply wording for crediting the original publication and copyright owner.

2. InsurTech advises all Speakers to create session titles that describes the session’s deliverable – what an attendee will learn by attending a session. Session titles that focus on content takeaways are consistently more powerful than “cute” or “gimmicky” titles.

3. Attendees expect to receive a copy of your presentation, a white paper supporting your work, RFC’s, and tools/code (if applicable). All presentation slides and white papers are due no later than Monday, 04 September 2017. Presentations and white papers should reference the tool(s), law(s), website(s), or publication(s) mentioned. A bibliography will greatly help attendees who wish to learn more about your subject, but are not sure where to start.

4. Attendees expect to see Speakers deliver professional, polished presentations. InsurTech strongly recommends that all Speakers rehearse their presentation multiple times in front of another person(s).

5. InsurTech expects Speakers to be available throughout the event to meet and talk with attendees. Attendees want to meet the Speakers and ask questions. Please advise conference management of time constraints when submitting your materials.
