Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) has extended its institutional partnership with Insurance Meets Tech (IMT), lending its professional and institutional support to the fifth edition of the annual insurance and technology conference, scheduled to be held on Friday, November 20, 2026, at the Balmoral Event Centre, Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.
This renewed partnership reflects both institutions’ shared commitment to advancing meaningful conversations on innovation, professional development, and the future of insurance in Nigeria, while strengthening the connection between the insurance profession and the wider technology ecosystem.
This milestone year, the 5th edition, under the theme “Building Insurance That Connects,” IMT 5.0 will convene insurance professionals, technology leaders, regulators, innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, and other stakeholders to examine how technology, collaboration, and new ideas can help create a more connected, accessible, and responsive insurance industry.
Speaking on the institutional partnership, Mr. Akinjide Orimolade, FIIN, President/Chairman of Council, Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN), said, “As the industry continues to evolve, we must ensure that innovation is matched by competence, professionalism and a clear understanding of the customer we ultimately serve. This is why CIIN continues to lend its full institutional weight to platforms such as Insurance Meets Tech. IMT provides an important space for the insurance community to have honest conversations, challenge old assumptions, and collectively consider what a more connected, technology-driven, and future-ready industry should look like. Our partnership with IMT for this 5th edition is a reaffirmation of that commitment, and we are confident this year’s conversations will move the industry closer to the innovative future we all envision”
Speaking on the partnership, Odion Aleobua, Founder/Convener of Insurance Meets Tech (IMT) and Chief Executive Officer, Creato Urban, stated, “CIIN’s continued institutional support speaks to the credibility this platform has built over the years. It reflects an industry that recognises IMT as more than an event, but as a genuine driver of change within the insurance and technology space. This partnership strengthens our ability to convene the right stakeholders, drive the right conversations, and deliver solutions for an industry that must keep evolving. As we approach the 5th edition, our commitment remains to position IMT as a trusted platform where the future of insurance in Nigeria is actively shaped.”
Over the past four editions, Insurance Meets Tech has established itself as a platform for dialogue between the insurance and technology sectors, bringing together industry leaders and emerging innovators to examine technology’s role in shaping the future of insurance.
This fifth edition will build on that foundation with high-level panel discussions, keynote sessions, technology showcases, and networking opportunities focused on digital transformation, emerging technologies, professional development, customer experience, and the broader evolution of the insurance ecosystem.
