#2026
Ontario's broker community is gathering in Toronto, and Geosapiens will be there. On October 21–22, IBAOcon 2026 takes over the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, and our team will join brokers, insurers, and partners from across the province for two days of ideas, conversation, and connection.
You'll find us on the Tradeshow floor at booth #1101 throughout the event.
Hosted by the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario (IBAO), IBAOcon is the flagship event for Ontario's broker channel, drawing more than 3,000 industry leaders and professionals. Alongside expert sessions, executive panels, the Awards of Excellence Gala, and the new Braindate Café, the Tradeshow brings together 120+ insurers, technology providers, and service partners.
This year's keynotes speak directly to the moment the industry is in:
- Connecting with Clarity (Day 1). Canadian entrepreneur and Dragons' Den star Manjit Minhas explores how brokers can simplify complexity, communicate with confidence, and build trust in every interaction.
- Creativity and Innovation in a Regulated World (Day 2). Duncan Wardle, former Head of Innovation & Creativity at Disney, shows how to unlock new ideas inside a system built on rules, design more human experiences in an AI-accelerated world, and collaborate across carriers, regulators, and partners.
Those themes resonate with us. Brokers are fielding tougher questions from clients every year. Is this property exposed to flooding, wildfire, or severe storms? How will that exposure change over the next decade? Is the coverage right, at the right values? Answering those questions shouldn't mean wading through generic hazard maps or relying on guesswork.
At Geosapiens, we believe climate risk insight should be clear, precise down to the individual property, and grounded in solid science. Our platform combines geospatial data and climate risk modeling with flexible access options and hands-on support from our team of experts. That way, brokers aren't just collecting risk data. They're using it to advise clients with confidence, place risks more effectively, and have better conversations with carriers.
In a regulated world that rewards transparency and fairness, that kind of clarity is a real advantage. It's also where innovation happens: not in technology for its own sake, but in new ways of explaining risk and helping clients act on it.
Whether you're a broker, a carrier, or a partner to the broker channel, stop by booth #1101 and let's talk about:
- helping clients understand why their premiums or coverage are changing, using clear, property-level data on flood, wildfire, and severe storm exposure;
- spotting coverage gaps early, like missing overland flood or sewer backup protection, so you can have the right conversation before a loss, not after;
- building stronger commercial submissions and renewals with credible, location-specific climate risk insights that carriers can act on;
- standing out from the competition by offering clients a level of risk advice that goes beyond price.
