Insurance & Embedded Insurance

Overview

The Qorus AI Leaders Roundtable is an exclusive invitation-only initiative, organized in collaboration with AXA and Accenture, that brings together senior executives from leading insurance institutions to explore how AI is reshaping the industry.

Through a series of quarterly online sessions, this confidential forum enables an open exchange of ideas and practical strategies to drive digital transformation.

In this third edition, 10–15 leaders will move beyond the hype to focus on the practical realities of the AI-driven enterprise. During this 90-minute moderated discussion, we will dive deep into how global insurers are shifting from experimental AI pilots to industrialized execution. We will explore the friction between traditional operating models and new ways of working, the evolution of the Business-IT partnership, and the cultural transformation required to make AI an integral part of the daily workflow.
