ITC Featured Events with AWS
AI is rewriting insurance — from how policies are underwritten to how operations are orchestrated. Join AWS and leaders from RGA, Guardian Life, Tokio Marine, and OpenAI for sessions that cut through the hype. If you're serious about turning AI ambition into measurable results, these are the conversations that matter.
- Dr. Dave Rengachary, Head of US Individual Life Underwriting, RGA
- Terry Buechner, Principal Insurance Specialist, AWS
Underwriting is at an inflection point. Terry Buechner, Principal Insurance Market Development and Dr. Dave Rengachary, RGA’s Head of US Individual Life Underwriting, explore how AI is transforming a discipline built on experience and judgment — where automation accelerates decision-making, where human expertise remains essential, and how RGA and AWS are turning that promise into production reality.
Speakers:
- Christopher George, Leader of Guardian Strategic Ventures, Guardian Life
- Patrick Gallic, Head of International AI Hub, Tokio Marine
- Tony Jacob, Head of Insurance, OpenAI
Agentic AI in insurance is moving from ambition to action — but the path isn’t straightforward. Three leaders from across life, annuities, and P&C share what’s actually working: how to identify the right use cases, when a POC is ready for production, and what it takes to make the leap.

AWS Private Events: Scaling AI with AWS | Find us at Jasmine B, 3rd Floor
Twelve sessions across three days, built for insurance executives who need AI to show up on the balance sheet. AWS, Anthropic, Verisk, Accenture, Capgemini, Pega, Quantiphi, and other industry leaders address the operational bottlenecks that stall enterprise AI programs: ungoverned data, legacy core systems, unclear ROI frameworks, and the gap between AI experimentation and production at scale. You will see live demonstrations tied to board-level metrics, build working AI agents in hands-on workshops, receive market insights, and leave with blueprints you can put in front of your teams. You leave with a clear line of sight from AI investment to measurable enterprise outcome.

Leaders are now using agents to accelerate the quality of their decisions and augment operational efficiency across their business. Companies leading in AI adoption deliver 60% higher shareholder returns than their peers (BCG, 2024). In this session the AWS Innovation team shares how to easily craft bespoke agents with natural language — no technical background needed. We will be joined by the Verisk leadership to further demonstrate how their customers are leveraging connected data with agents to deliver operational efficiencies at scale. You leave with a working understanding of how to build your first agent.
Speakers:
When: Tuesday, September 29, 1:30–2:30 PM
- Paul Kienholz, CEO & General Manager, DANAconnect
Still managing health reimbursement claims through manual workflows and disconnected systems? DANAconnect’s Digital Claims Management solution on AWS empowers insurers and healthcare organizations to streamline the entire pre-settlement journey — from intake and document validation to real-time case tracking and automated policyholder communications.
Speakers:
When: Tuesday, September 29, 2:45–3:30 PM
- Cameron Karagitz, Head of Claims Innovation, Anthropic
- Terry Buechner, Principal Insurance Market Development, AWS
- Jay Mehta, Insurance Solutions Architect, AWS
- Lalita Nair, Insurance Go To Market Strategist, AWS
AI in insurance has moved past the productivity phase — it is directly impacting the book of business. Join AWS and Anthropic for a discussion on how AI models are driving real carrier economics. Watch demos built on AWS, each mapped to a metric your board tracks.
Speakers:
When: Tuesday, September 29, 4:00–5:00 PM
Wednesday, September 30
Five sessions in the AWS Private Room, Jasmine B, 3rd floor.
- Louis DiModugno, Global Chief Data Officer
- Arlind Mucaj, CDO Exchange & Partnerships
Responsible agentic AI starts with a trusted data foundation — resolving the correct insurance entities, connecting structured and unstructured information through shared semantics, and embedding governance and observability across the workflow. Verisk brings trusted insurance data, domain intelligence, Verisk ID, and direct access to carrier data leaders through the CDO Exchange. AWS brings the scalable cloud infrastructure, generative AI services, and the security and governance architecture needed to operationalize these capabilities. Together, we offer carriers a practical framework for moving AI from experimentation into defensible underwriting, claims, and risk-management outcomes.
Speakers:
When: Wednesday, September 30, 10:30–11:30 AM
- Keshav Ganesh, GTM Leader, Legacy Transformation - AWS
- Surender Kumar, MF Modernization Competency Leader - Pega
- Lior Ribolov, SVP Modernization Platform & GenAI, OpenLegacy
The reality for many insurers: millions of lines of mainframe code written by people who've long since retired, running essential systems that everyone is justifiably terrified to touch. The known risks and costs associated with doing so have rarely been justified by the potential benefits...until now.In this session, AWS, Pega, and OpenLegacy show how AI-driven code analysis, automated refactoring, and intelligent API extraction are compressing what used to be multi-year, nine-figure transformation programs into months. You'll see how this combined approach works end-to-end, hear what real enterprises are experiencing, and leave with a clear framework for evaluating whether your legacy portfolio is ready for this new economics of modernization.
Speakers:
When: Wednesday, September 30, 12:00–1:00 PM
- Andrew Hood, Executive Vice President and Global Insurance Practice Head, Capgemini
- Shomi Agrawal, Business transformation executive, Capgemini
Join Capgemini and AWS at ITC for a live demonstration of how agentic AI and insurance professionals work together to deliver measurable business outcomes. Explore a Commercial Property Underwriting solution that helps underwriters process submissions faster, assess risk more efficiently, and increase capacity without sacrificing underwriting quality. See how an Auto Claims Subrogation solution identifies recovery opportunities, accelerates resolution, and improves recovery performance while keeping handlers in control of critical decisions. Across both use cases, AI agents automate repetitive work, surface insights, and orchestrate workflows so experts can focus on higher-value decisions. Discover how insurers can improve speed, productivity, profitability, and customer experience through a practical human-in-the-loop approach to agentic AI.

Register here for Intelligent Insurance Operations: Human Expertise Meets Agentic AI
- Shawn Marie Frazier, Principal Advisory for FSI, Quantiphi
- Duane Osburn, Sr Technical Solutions Consultant, Quantiphi
- Jay Mehta, Sr. Applied AI Architect, AWS
Insurance carriers face a persistent bottleneck: the assumption that AI requires a fully rearchitected data estate before you can start. Multi-year transformation programs stall, budgets balloon, and business teams wait. Quantiphi and AWS share what we’ve learned getting carriers live on agentic AI without the multi-year data transformation as a prerequisite. We’ll walk through the architecture we deploy (governance frameworks, insurance ontology, Amazon Q, Amazon Connect), show a live user journey pulling context from core systems in seconds, and send you home with a pilot blueprint you can bring to your teams.
Speakers:
When: Wednesday, September 30, 3:00–4:00 PM
- Carlos Moreno, Technical Insurance Expert, Escala 24X7
Join this AWS workshop to discover how financial institutions can use AI to build effective governance and regulatory compliance strategies.
