This, 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,” 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 partnership, Mr. Akinjide Orimolade, President/Chairman of Council, 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 support to platforms such as 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 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”

Also, Odion Aleobua, Founder/Convener of 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, IMT 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 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.

The call was made during a courtesy visit by the Insurance Meets Tech team to the NCRIB, where the Council formally endorsed the fifth edition of the annual insurance and technology conference.

Speaking during the visit, the President of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB), Mrs. Ekeoma Ezeibe, stated, “Technology is no longer a peripheral conversation for the insurance industry; it is central to how we create value, serve consumers and remain relevant in a rapidly changing environment. For insurance brokers, this is particularly important because we are professional advisers and a critical link between consumers and the wider insurance value chain. We must therefore be at the forefront of understanding and harnessing the technologies shaping our profession.”

“This is why I am particularly pleased that, for its fifth edition, Insurance Meets Tech is creating an opportunity for brokers to play a more pivotal role in this important conversation. I encourage insurance brokers and other professionals to actively participate in discussions around technology, innovation and the future of insurance,” she added.

The NCRIB’s endorsement reinforces the importance of collaboration between the insurance and technology communities, particularly as emerging technologies continue to influence how insurance products are designed, distributed and experienced.

Commenting on the endorsement, Odion Aleobua, Convener of Insurance Meets Tech and Founder/CEO, Creato Urban,said the Council’s support was particularly significant as the platform marks its fifth edition. “Reaching our fifth edition is an important milestone for Insurance Meets Tech, and having the NCRIB’s leadership endorsement is a validation of the impact this platform has made over the last five years.”

“Brokers are central to the insurance ecosystem, controlling over 90% of the country’s total commercial premium, and their perspectives are critical to conversations around technology, customer experience and the future of the industry. IMT 5.0 is designed to create a platform where these conversations can move beyond theory into meaningful exchange, collaboration and practical solutions.”

The fifth edition will feature high-level panel discussions, keynote sessions, technology showcases and networking opportunities, with discussions spanning digital transformation, emerging technologies, professional development, customer experience and the evolving insurance ecosystem.

Insurance Meets Tech 5.0 Moves to November 20, 2026

Insurance Meets Tech (IMT), Nigeria’s leading platform for conversations at the intersection of insurance and technology, has announced that its fifth edition, IMT 5.0, will now hold on Thursday, November 20, 2026, at Balmoral Hall, Sheraton Hotel, Lagos.

The conference was previously scheduled for September 18.

The change follows logistical constraints outside the organisers’ control. Rather than compromise the experience its stakeholders have come to expect, the organising team moved the date to protect the standard IMT has built over five years.

Convener of Insurance Meets Tech, Odion Aleobua, said the decision was intentionally taken to safeguard the platform’s integrity rather than rush delivery.

“We do not take this lightly,” he said. “IMT has earned its place by holding a high bar, and we would rather move our date than move that bar. Five years in, our stakeholders do not just attend IMT, they build on it. Every partnership struck and every deal closed on this platform carries forward into the industry long after the conference ends. That is a responsibility we take seriously, and it is the same responsibility guiding this decision.”

He added that the additional weeks would allow the team to address all the moving parts to ensure another successful event.

“November 20 gives us the room to deliver the edition our stakeholders expect, one that matches the ambition of where this industry is headed. We are grateful for the trust of everyone invested in what IMT is building, and we look forward to hosting them in November.”

All existing sponsorships and registrations remain valid for the new date. Sponsors and already registered participants need to take no further action.

IMT 5.0 will convene insurers, regulators, technology founders, investors and policymakers around the commercial and regulatory questions shaping the next phase of insurance in Nigeria and across the continent.
