The 2026 edition of West Africa’s leading insurance and technology conference, Insurance Meets Tech (IMT), will take place on September 18, 2026 at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.

This year’s event, the fifth in the series and labeled IMT 5.0, carries the theme “Building Insurance That Connects.”

Insurance Meets Tech was founded by Creato Urban, one of Africa’s leading strategic communications agencies, in response to the urgent need for cross‑industry dialogue that produces practical, actionable solutions for the insurance sector. By bringing together stakeholders from multiple interconnected industries, the platform has consistently worked to accelerate industry growth through technology‑driven collaboration, fostering greater customer acquisition, engagement, and overall value creation.

According to the organisers, since its debut in 2021, IMT has evolved into one of the most respected platforms for insurance innovation in West Africa, nurturing partnerships, promoting knowledge exchange, and driving a decisive shift toward digital‑first insurance processes across the region.

Speaking about this year’s edition, the convener of Insurance Meets Tech, Odion Aleobua, said, “As we reflect on the progress of a newly reformed and recapitalised insurance industry, we must ask if we are truly making this transformation meaningful for the people it was designed to serve?”
