A monthly series spotlighting leaders and ideas that help carriers move faster, collaborate better, and serve policyholders with care.

Insurance is built on relationships between carriers and policyholders, partners and the ecosystem. Conversations That Connect, Hi Marley’s new monthly discussion series, will bring the insurance community together through honest dialogue with industry leaders.

What is the Conversations that Connect Series?

Spotlighting the respected industry experts shaping the future of insurance, a new guest will join us each month, bringing fresh perspectives, hard-earned lessons, and actionable insights to the insurance community.

By exploring shared challenges and real solutions being put into practice, Conversations that Connect aims to:

• Highlight insurance industry thought leaders.

What Will Each Conversations that Connect Episode Include?

Every conversation will cover topics that are top of mind for carriers. From emerging trends to real-world strategies, these discussions will transform experience and insight, creating practical value for insurance leaders.

And each episode will conclude with two signature questions that anchor the discussion and drive practical takeaways:

These questions ensure that every conversation informs and drives action.

Who Will Host Conversations that Connect?

Stephanie Behnke, Principal, Industry and Market Insights at Hi Marley, will host Conversations that Connect. Stephanie’s deep industry experience and long-standing commitment to improving outcomes for policyholders and the people who support them inspired the creation of this series.
