ITC Vegas has become the single most influential insurance technology conference in the world. Each year, thousands of insurers, MGAs, brokers, reinsurers, investors, and insurtech vendors gather in Las Vegas to discuss where the industry is heading — and how to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
For small insurers and MGAs, ITC Vegas is not just a large conference dominated by big carriers. It is a practical, high-impact opportunity to learn, network, evaluate technology, and build partnerships that can directly influence growth, efficiency, and profitability.

What Is ITC Vegas?
ITC Vegas (InsureTech Connect Vegas) is the world’s largest insurance innovation event. It brings together every major segment of the insurance ecosystem, including:
Insurance carriers of all sizes
MGAs and program administrators
Brokers and agencies
Insurtech startups
Core system and data providers
Investors, reinsurers, and consultants
Unlike traditional insurance conferences, ITC Vegas focuses heavily on technology, digital transformation, operational efficiency, and new business models.
The event typically spans three days and includes keynote sessions, breakout panels, hands-on demonstrations, a massive expo hall, startup pitch competitions, and structured networking opportunities.
Why ITC Vegas Is Important for Small Insurers and MGAs
1. Direct Access to Insurance Technology
Small insurers and MGAs often operate with limited IT resources. ITC Vegas offers a glimpse at hundreds of insurance technology solutions in one place — from policy administration systems and claims automation to AI underwriting tools and data enrichment platforms.
ITC Vegas allows you to:
Discuss and learn about vendor capabilities
Ask technical and operational questions directly
See how peers are solving similar challenges
This is especially valuable for MGAs and smaller carriers that are shopping for scalable, configurable solutions rather than heavy custom builds. Here, they can learn what’s out there and make the right connections.
2. Learning from Real-World Use Cases
The content at ITC Vegas is heavily focused on practical implementation, not just theory. Sessions frequently highlight:
How carriers are using AI in underwriting and claims
Lessons learned from core system modernization
Scaling MGA operations without increasing headcount
Improving speed to market for new products
For small insurers and MGAs, these real-world examples can help avoid costly mistakes and shorten the learning curve about tools like AI.
3. Networking That Actually Leads Somewhere
One of the biggest reasons people return to ITC Vegas year after year is networking. You don’t need a booth to meet people; there’s a convenient app designed to help you make connections that count. The event is intentionally designed to facilitate:
One-to-one meetings
Peer-to-peer conversations
Introductions to potential partners and vendors
For MGAs, ITC Vegas can mean meeting:
Carrier partners
Reinsurance contacts
Technology providers
For small insurers, it’s an opportunity to connect with:
Innovative MGAs
Distribution partners
Data and automation vendors
Many partnerships that start at ITC Vegas turn into pilots, integrations, or long-term relationships – and not just in a booth. There are events and coffee breaks, and the opportunity to meet just about anyone on the ITC app.

Tips to Get the Most Value from ITC Vegas
1. Set Clear Goals
Decide in advance whether your priority is technology evaluation, partnerships, education, or networking.
2. Pre-Schedule Meetings
Many of the best conversations happen through pre-booked meetings rather than chance encounters. The ITC app allows anyone at the event to invite others to meet, even before the expo begins.
3. Focus on Relevant Tracks
Don’t try to see everything. Prioritize sessions aligned with MGA operations, small-carrier challenges, or core system modernization.
4. Talk to Peers
Some of the most valuable insights come from informal conversations with other insurers and MGAs facing the same constraints you are.
