From October 23 – 26, 2022, Guidewire hosted its 18th annual Connections user conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. The atmosphere at this year’s event was phenomenal, with more than 2,770 people attending in person, compared to 1,341 people last year. Another 2,069 people joined virtually via live streaming. It was great to see the Guidewire community — customers, partners, and Guidewire employees — coming together to learn, collaborate, and network both face to face and on our virtual platform.

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Guidewire Insurance Forum in Sydney, Australia. It was the first time the event had taken place in person since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There was an atmosphere of high energy and excitement as attendees interacted with each other face-to-face again for the first time in three years.

Guidewire recently hosted its 17th annual user conference — Connections 2021 — in Las Vegas, Nevada. And I just have to say, “Wow!”
