InsurTech LTC Conference Postponed

After careful consideration, the SOA has decided to postpone and reimagine the 2019 InsurTech LTC Conference, originally planned for May 29-31 in National Harbor, MD. The continuing and very rapid developments in the InsurTech space, along with their applications in the long-term care (LTC) marketplace are exciting and dynamic topics of great interest to professionals across the LTC industry. Later this year, we plan to introduce a reimagined event for this market, embracing this innovative topic in a more accessible format.
