Automation Committee

The Automation & Technology Committee encourages members to add their expertise to this constantly evolving committee and, thereby, share the collective knowledge with AAMGA members to improve their use of automation and technology internally with greater efficiency, as well as in service to their customers and markets. The Committee is responsible for the content, functionality and maintenance of the AAMGA's website (www.aamga.org), and organizes the wholesale insurance market's only Automation & Technology Conference in March of each year.

The conference is attended by chief information technology officers, IT specialists and principals of MGA's and companies. An industry trade show is offered and educational sessions are conducted together with access to industry experts in order to provide attendees with real-time information to further improve their operations through the more effective use of technology.

2012-2013 Automation Committee Goals

  1. Plan, hold, and organize a successful March 2013 Automation conference with a goal of 325 attendees.
  2. Identify and implement enhancements to the AAMGA website.
  3. Continue to support the initiatives of the E&S JWG sponsored by AAMGA, NAPSLO, ACT and ACORD.
  4. Continue to differentiate technical and other related information to the membership via Tech Tips.
  5. Continue to keep an open line of communication between the London and U. S. markets. Work toward a standard set of data requirements in order to improve reporting and work toward real-time data exchange.
