Elevating And Personalizing The Customer Experience

9:40 AM Large Language Model Town Hall: Revamping Your Marketing Strategy to Match Changing Customer Behaviors

Insurance customers have more information at their fingertips than ever before, but Generative AI is redefining how they search for products and information. LLMs such as Google search, Microsoft Edge/CoPilot, ChatGPT, DeepSeek and others are reshaping expectations. According to the recent 2025 Consumer Adoption of AI Report 41% of customers now trust Gen AI results more than paid search results.

Insurers must adapt to this behavioral change by rethinking product offerings, adjusting content creation, and reimagining customer engagement.

Join this session for effective strategies on:

  • Understanding “Blackbox” AI to see what factors LLMs (and customers) value and prioritize while scrawling pages
  • Developing effective messaging across marketing channels to ensure your product’s strengths are easily identifiable for LLMs
  • Evaluating the overall value of paid search and other channels to enhance future marketing campaigns 

4:10 PM Panel Discussion: Distribution Evolution: AI As An Enabler Of Sales And Marketing Transformation

Agents are often the first touchpoint members have with your brand. The quality of this experience depends on how well agents are set up for success. To ensure the best outcomes carriers must invest in supportive technology, such as AI, Voice of the Customer, next Gen CRM and more.

Sit in on this session to hear real actions you can take to improve customer interactions and increase distributions by helping your agents to be more effective.

Topics covered include:

  • Working closely with your agents to identify where automation can reduce bottlenecks in their sales cycles
  • Using AI Agents for routine questions to free up your human agents for more complex tasks
  • Analyzing agent conversations with AI to identify best practices for other agents to mirror
  • Reducing cognitive load on agents by training AI to pre-select more relevant and personalized package options to present to customers
