About this event
Looking for a smarter way to meet people in insurance and insurtech than another coffee queue or crowded evening social? INSURTECH RUN CLUB - INSURTECH INSIGHTS EDITION brings the industry together in motion: a midday, in-person meetup in London where conversation, community, and fresh thinking happen side by side. This is built for people who want networking to feel more natural and more useful. Instead of forcing small talk across a room, you’ll connect with others through a shared activity, then continue those conversations around the ideas, challenges, and opportunities shaping insurtech right now. What Is This? This event combines a run club atmosphere with an insurtech-focused meetup. The format is simple and approachable: show up, meet other attendees, take part in a group run experience, and use the time before, during, or after to connect with people working across insurance, technology, partnerships, operations, product, and growth. The "Insights Edition" framing signals that this is more than just exercise. It is designed to create room for real industry conversation in a setting that feels more relaxed than a formal panel or traditional networking event. If you’ve ever had your best professional conversations while walking between meetings or heading out for a run, this format will feel familiar in the best way. Because it is taking place in person in London at lunchtime, the event is especially well suited to local professionals who want to step out of the workday, reset their energy, and spend time with peers in a way that feels both social and purposeful. What to Expect Expect a meetup that balances movement, conversation, and community. The exact pace and flow may vary on the day, but the overall experience is centered on helping attendees connect in a more human way than the standard industry event format allows. You can expect elements like: Arrival and informal introductions so you can get oriented and meet fellow attendees A shared run club experience that makes networking feel easier and less transactional Insurtech-focused conversation with people who understand the market, the pressure points, and the opportunities A social meetup atmosphere that welcomes both existing connections and first-time attendees One of the strengths of this format is that it creates different kinds of interactions. Some conversations happen naturally in small groups before the run. Others emerge while moving, when people tend to speak more openly and think more clearly. And for many attendees, the best part is what happens afterward: the quick introductions, follow-up ideas, and “we should continue this” moments that come from meeting the right people in the right environment. This is not positioned as an intense race or a highly formal conference session. It is a community-led space where the value comes from showing up, participating, and being open to both movement and meaningful conversation. Why Attend If you work in or around insurtech, you already know that good connections matter. The challenge is finding settings where those connections can happen naturally, without the stiffness of a formal pitch environment. This event offers exactly that: a more relaxed, more candid, and often more memorable way to build your network. You’re not just attending to exercise. You’re attending to spend time with people who care about the same sector, who are facing similar questions, and who may have useful perspectives on how insurance and technology are evolving. Whether your interests are product, distribution, claims, underwriting, operations, customer experience, or startup growth, the format creates space for practical conversation. Attendees are likely to leave with: New industry relationships built in a low-pressure setting Fresh perspectives from peers across insurance and technology A stronger sense of community within the London insurtech scene A welcome midday reset that can sharpen your focus for the rest of the day There is also real value in the tone of the event itself. Fitness-based community gatherings tend to attract people who are proactive, open, and engaged. That means the room, or in this case the group, often feels more generous and more genuine than standard networking environments. Practical Details The event takes place in person in London, United Kingdom, on Tuesday, March 17 at 12:30 PM GMT. The lunchtime timing makes it easy to fit into the middle of the day, whether you’re based nearby, working remotely in the city, or planning your schedule around meetings. Because this is an in-person run club and meetup, it makes sense to come prepared for movement and conversation. You’ll want to arrive ready for a group setting, with enough time to settle in and meet people before the main activity begins. A few practical reasons this format works well: Midday scheduling helps break up the workday without requiring a late evening commitment In-person attendance supports stronger, faster rapport than online networking London location makes it relevant for professionals active in one of the most important insurtech hubs in Europe If you like the idea of combining professional community with something more active and grounded, this event is a strong fit. It offers a clear alternative to passive attendance: get outside, meet good people, and have better industry conversations while doing it.
