Love seeing InsurTech get more spotlight - it's one of those areas that feels ripe for disruption but hasn't gotten as much atention as fintech. I've been to a few CTO roundtables in my city and the architecture vs legacy trade-off conversation is always the most valueable part. The format you're describing for the Feb 19th event sounds perfect for getting past the usual surface-level startup talk.
