1–2 Dec 2026TimeTime not published	FinTech Connect 2026New 🔔Follow up Organiser: FinTech Connect official organiser page; registered Applied to speak I’d like to propose a session on reimagining the insurance comparison journey with AI, moving beyond simple quote aggregation towards a more guided, transparent and customer-centred experience. Drawing on my background across insurance, digital transformation, customer experience and product delivery, I will share the thinking behind BEEP-ai: an AI-assisted concept designed to help customers better understand their insurance needs, compare options more confidently, and navigate the trade-offs between price, cover and suitability. The audience value would be a practical view of where current comparison journeys create friction, why customers often struggle to understand what they are buying, and how AI can support clearer explanations, better discovery and improved decision confidence, while still respecting compliance, transparency and human accountability. This topic is timely because insurers, brokers and fintechs are under pressure to deliver better digital journeys, meet higher customer-outcome expectations, and use AI in ways that create real business and consumer value rather than just adding another chatbot layer	London Excel London, Royal Victoria Dock, 1 Western Gateway, London E16 1XLDistance114 km / 71 mi; ~89 min	Free for qualifying financial-services professionals; no card required	Fintech ecosystem Two-day fintech event for financial innovation, partnerships, payments, banking and digital transformation, with 5,000+ decision-makers and seven tracks.
