The fifth edition of Insurance Meets Tech (IMT), Nigeria’s leading platform for conversations at the intersection of insurance and technology, has moved the event date to Friday, November 20, 2026, at Balmoral Hall, Sheraton Hotel, Lagos. The conference was previously scheduled for September 18.
The change follows logistical constraints outside the organisers’ control. Rather than compromise the experience its stakeholders have come to expect, the organising team moved the date to protect the standard IMT has built over five years.
Convener of Insurance Meets Tech, Odion Aleobua, said the decision was intentionally taken to safeguard the platform’s integrity rather than rush delivery.
“We do not take this lightly,” he said. “IMT has earned its place by holding a high bar, and we would rather move our date than move that bar. Five years in, our stakeholders do not just attend IMT, they build on it. Every partnership struck and every deal closed on this platform carries forward into the industry long after the conference ends. That is a responsibility we take seriously, and it is the same responsibility guiding this decision.”
He added that the additional weeks would allow the team to address all the moving parts to ensure another successful event. “November 20 gives us the room to deliver the edition our stakeholders expect, one that matches the ambition of where this industry is headed. We are grateful for the trust of everyone invested in what IMT is building, and we look forward to hosting them in November.”
All existing sponsorships and registrations remain valid for the new date. Sponsors and already registered participants need to take no further action.
IMT 5.0 will convene insurers, regulators, technology founders, investors and policymakers around the commercial and regulatory questions shaping the next phase of insurance in Nigeria and across the continent.
