Telematics Update to Unite the Biggest Players Within the Canadian Usage Based Insurance Space at Insurance Telematics Canada 2014(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) (PRWEB) February 09, 2014 With UBI products already on the market, there is no doubt that insurance telematics is here to stay in Canada. A watch and wait strategy is not an option; the Canadian UBI ecosystem will be defined by those insurance carriers, telematics service providers and technology companies that react swiftly. Insurance Telematics Canada Conference & Exhibition 2014 is the first forum to unite all these key stakeholders to debate key questions surrounding business models, data privacy concerns and critical regulatory issues. The impressive progress of the US market is set to be mirrored in Canada. The figures speak for themselves - the US UBI market is estimated to reach approximately 60 million vehicles by the close of 2019 (Telematics Update - Insurance Telematics Report 2013) and similar exciting progress is expected north of the border. The full agenda and speaker line-up including FSCO, the CAA, RSA Group and Zurich has been announced this week – http://www.telematicsupdate.com/insurance-telematics-canada/conference-agenda.php Laying the Foundations for Insurance Telematics in Canada Jack Palmer, Project Director at Telematics Update stated, “Insurance telematics in Canada is at a tipping point.
