Customer behaviour and UX insights
An expert in behavioural economics shares insights into what customers want, and what puts them off a purchase. What can our industry learn about customer behaviour in other sectors that can be applied to insurance purchases, whether it is the design of the website itself, the importance of brand awareness, or the sales pathway.
Speakers

Identifying and meeting customer expectations
What do travel insurance customers want? ITIJ will present exclusive research findings that identify key consumer demands and desires, looking at what they value most in their travel insurance policies. Along with two industry experts, there will follow a detailed discussion about whether or not the industry can meet these expectations – and indeed, if these expectations are realistic given the nature of policies and ongoing pressure on premiums in the UK marketplace.

Product differentiation
Insurers and underwriters will discuss current market stagnation in terms of product development and how policies need to be updated in line with market demographics and their individual demands so one group isn’t always covering another. As the market continues to develop with technology offering new opportunities to personalise products and meet the needs of different travellers, are insurers making the most of their data to enhance their products?

Neurodiverse and vulnerable customers – declarations and proportional settlement
This session will focus specifically on neurodiversity of the travelling population and the mental health conditions for which they require coverage. A neurodiversity expert will educate the ITIC audience about the spectrum of conditions and what might trigger an episode of increased risk for a customer. An insurer will take the reins of the conversation, looking at how to better identify a potentially neurodiverse customer at the point of sale, allowing for enhanced risk management, and an assistance expert will share how best to care for these patients.

The real-world application of artificial intelligence in travel insurance
Our speaker will seek to answer the question: can AI be useful for consumers as well as insurers? Generative AI is changing many industries, but can it transform travel insurance sales, claims and assistance processes for the better?
