AM Best to Host Webinar on Building Resilient, Future-Ready MGAs

OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best will host a complimentary webinar, titled, “Building Resilient, Future-Ready MGAs: Strategies for Sustainable Growth in a Competitive Market,” sponsored by Xceedance, on Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. (EDT). Register today.

The U.S. managing general agent (MGA) market is expanding rapidly, with growth outpacing the broader property/casualty sector. However, the opportunity comes with pressure, from talent shortages and capital constraints to rising complexity in risk and growing expectations from carrier partners.

In this one-hour webinar, a panel of insurance and technology professionals will take a deep dive into how top-performing MGAs are leveraging technology, data, people and strategic partnerships to differentiate in an increasingly competitive landscape. They will also discuss emerging innovations in data and technology, coupled with the importance of attracting and retaining top talent across the organization.

Panelists include:

  • Sachin Kulkarni, executive vice president – head of commercial & specialty insurance and MGA, Americas, Xceedance; and
  • Adrian Copland, chief operating officer, Ledgebrook.

Playback will be available shortly afterward. Those unable to attend the live webinar can still register to receive the playback to view at their convenience.
