Global Disruption . Digital Acceleration . Human Advantage

The life insurance landscape is moving at a relentless pace. From the shifting sands of global geopolitics to the rapid-fire acceleration of AI, the forces reshaping our industry require more than just awareness—they demand a “future-ready” mindset.

Join ALUCA this October for MiniLUCA 2026, a high-impact afternoon designed to help you navigate these complexities. This year’s theme, Next Wave, explores the intersection of technology, risk, and the enduring human advantage in a digital world.

Why you should attend:

  • Geopolitical Clarity: Understand how global trends translate into local industry risks.
  • The AI Frontier: Explore the growing intersection of technology and claims, underwriting, product and rehabilitation experience.
  • Strategic Networking: Connect with peers across the underwriting, claims, product and rehabilitation sectors during our networking lunch.
  • Actionable Takeaways: Leave with practical insights to apply directly to your role and leadership.
