Underwriting is the backbone of insurance but in an era of economic uncertainty, geopolitical instability and evolving risks, profitability is under pressure. The ability to navigate volatility, enhance risk selection and balance top-line growth with disciplined underwriting has never been more critical. At the heart of this transformation are chief underwriting officers, the industry’s leaders who navigate these complexities. As they strive to balance the drive for top-line growth with operational efficiency, they shape the future of underwriting in an era of uncertainty.
At Underwriting Innovation USA 2025 (September 9, New York), join the exclusive gathering of underwriting leaders to explore how to refine pricing strategies, build resilience, deliver new products, forge valuable partnerships and drive profitability in an increasingly complex market.
