MarketScout Features Insurance Industry Leaders at 2010 Entrepreneurial Insurance Symposium

July 26, 2010

Industry “think tank” focuses on new underwriting and distribution concepts.

Property and Casualty insurance underwriting and distribution are changing dramatically. On September 14 and 15 MarketScout will host over 400 industry leaders at the fourth annual Entrepreneurial Insurance Symposium.

According to Richard Kerr, founder and CEO of MarketScout, “We founded the Entrepreneurial Insurance Symposium because there was no forum to promote innovation and creativity in the insurance industry. The event is high energy with a focus on fostering new, creative ideas.”

To maintain market share, underwriters, retail agents and intermediaries must implement new concepts. Clearly, those who understand the new ways of doing business will be big winners.

Prior attendees describe the symposium as the only true insurance industry “think tank” with a focus on new concepts, ideas and innovation. Speakers will profile new initiatives and innovative methods their firms are using to position themselves for growth.
