Rihanna's mega hit "Umbrella" boomed through the Conference Center at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas recently as a smiling Jay Weintraub marked the opening of InsureTech Connect 2018. Weintraub had good reason to smile. Three years ago, what was a quaint insurance technology convention has since quadrupled in size and attendance. This year's keynote speakers, workshops and exhibit hall drew roughly 6,000 attendees from insurance carriers, technology providers, claims organizations and other industry vendors.
