One trend. Twelve months. The right people.
Where insurance goes deep on what's next
The Emerging Trends Academy is an invitation-only network for insurance leaders who want to understand the forces reshaping their industry while there’s still time to act. Each cohort takes one trend and works it for a year, with Sønr’s data underneath.
Go deeper on the trends changing insurance
The Academy works at the point where positions are still forming and there’s still room to shape what happens. It brings together the people paying attention, before the rest of the industry catches up.
Depth the industry rarely reaches
Most of what the industry offers is broad and shallow: a panel here, a report there, a conference session that ends before the real conversation starts.
The Academy is the opposite. Each cohort works a single emerging trend for a full year, with incumbents, pioneers, builders, investors and regulators focused on the same question, and Sønr’s data underneath.
Data nobody else holds
Every briefing and report draws on Sønr’s own data: ten years of tracking 6 million+ companies across the global insurance ecosystem. Members get the intelligence Sønr’s largest clients rely on.
Built to produce action
The aim is to leave knowing what needs to exist, and to start building it. Each cohort brings incumbents, pioneers, builders, investors and regulators into one room while positions are still forming.
Eight trends, two horizons
Each trend runs as its own cohort. You join the one that matters most to your work.
Changing insurance now
The Intelligent Claims Revolution, Underwriting Rewritten, AI-Led Distribution and The Fraud Frontier.
Changing insurance next
The Quantum Shift, Space as an Insurance Frontier, Robotics and Autonomous Systems, and Climate: The Uninsurable World.
How it works
A cohort opens when enough of the right people have committed. Twenty members launch it, and it’s capped at fifty to protect the quality of the conversation.
Choose your trend and level of membership, register your place, and when the cohort reaches critical mass everyone goes live together. No payment is taken until it launches.
Membership is per trend, at three levels: research and data; research plus practitioner sessions and meetups; or a team of five.
Chair a trend
We’re inviting eight senior leaders, one for each trend, to chair the Academy’s Impact Board: shaping the research and bringing the right people into the room. If that’s you, we’d love to talk.
