Thanks for Connecting at ACORD Connect 2026

Thanks to our members and everyone from the insurance community who joined us at ACORD Connect this year! 

This was the first time since 2019 that our annual flagship conference was held in person, and it was fantastic to hear your voices – literally and figuratively.

Over two days, insurance and technology leaders from across the industry joined us at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut to share ideas, explore emerging challenges, and discuss the future of data, standards, AI, and digital transformation.

This year's conference theme was "Data, Truth, Trust"...and the conversation quickly demonstrated that all three of those things are best achieved with standards as a foundation. The interactions among the attendees were thoughtful, collaborative, and a powerful reminder of what our industry can accomplish when we work together. 

We were especially excited to host:

  • Over two dozen students and faculty from the University of Connecticut, Nichols College, and Connecticut College. 
  • A live "Connecting Threads" networking event with the Women in Insurance Collective.
  • The annual ACORD Awards, recognizing contributions from throughout the ACORD community.
  • A live recording of The Future of Insurance podcast with Bryan Falchuk.

ACORD members will be able to access the presentations in our conference session archives. We'll see you at ACORD Connect 2027!
