ACORD is now accepting applications for its ACORD Insurance Innovation Challenge (AIIC) semi-finals which will be held in London on September 5, 2017. The AIIC is the world's premier event for innovation in insurance technology. It brings together insurance companies of all sizes and across all lines of business, investors and venture capital partners, technology startups, and industry innovators. It is an opportunity to be a part of a collaborative effort to transform the way the insurance industry does business, interacts with new policyholders and partners, crafts the next-gen customer experience, and ensures a prosperous future. The London semi-final event will lead up to the international finals scheduled to be held in conjunction with ACORD2017 October 24-26, 2017 at the Marriott Copley Place in Boston, Massachusetts. The AIIC will be giving away prizes valued up to $300,000, including a cash prize of $25,000 for the Startup Disruptor finals winner.
