Yandy Plasencia
DataHaven Software
“Scout created the rare environment where decision-makers across the insurance value chain could have honest, high-impact conversations without the noise of service providers chasing carriers. It fostered truly open dialogue among carriers, MGAs, reinsurers, and investors—and it gave startups like DataHaven the space to participate as equals in the conversations that actually matter.”
Ron Keller
Tokio Marine
“Scout InsurTech is a breath of fresh air; it’s not just about attending another conference. Instead, it creates an atmosphere that feels genuinely personal. It’s all about diving into innovative ideas, engaging in meaningful conversations with the right people, and forging valuable connections—all without the usual distractions and chatter that can overwhelm such events.”
Bethany Foy
Ohio Mutual Insurance Group
“Ohio Mutual has been an engaged partner with Scout for many years. We value the Scout InsurTech Conference for its approach to business awareness, connection, and event size. Large events or conferences can overpower the ability to find meaningful strategic partnerships. We prefer involvement at Scout sponsored events because they know our business and create an environment of meaningful connections.”
