Tweetable Quotes:

  • “90% of the technology that they use is IndieTech. It’s not InsurTech. It’s a technology that is built specifically for the independent insurance agent, not for the captives, not for the banking industry, for independent insurance agents.” – Jason Cass
  • “I’m trying to create an experience for the attendee, and for the vendor, so that it kind of puts it all together rather than everybody just walking around wondering what they’re doing. So that’s a couple of things that we’re doing differently.” – Jason Cass
  • “Let me tell you this, when you put AI inside the browser, listen to this, this is so important to the listeners…you eliminate the need for APIs and integrations because the AI can do whatever the company is not already set up to do.” – Jason Cass
