The MGAA Annual Conference 2026 once again proved why it is the flagship event in the MGA calendar. Bringing together more than 1,200 professionals from across the UK and Ireland, alongside over 140 MGAA Supplier members, the conference provided an invaluable opportunity to share ideas, discuss industry challenges and strengthen relationships across the market.
As an Annual Silver Sponsor, REG Technologies was proud to play an active role throughout the event—not only exhibiting and engaging with delegates, but also contributing to the conference programme through thought leadership and supporting the next generation of insurance professionals.
For us, the conference wasn’t simply about showcasing technology. It was about reinforcing our long-term commitment to the MGA community and demonstrating how regulation, governance and operational efficiency are becoming strategic enablers for sustainable growth.
The Foundations of Success
A highlight of the conference was our TechZone rapid-fire presentation, The Foundations of Success: Compliance Control and Customer Value, delivered by our Chief Revenue Officer, Graham Hogan.
The session explored a topic that continues to rise up the boardroom agenda for MGAs.
As delegated authority models continue to evolve, MGAs are facing increasing expectations from both regulators and capacity providers. Demonstrating product value, evidencing claims performance and maintaining effective oversight across distribution networks are no longer “nice to have” capabilities—they are fundamental requirements for operating successfully.
Graham discussed how leading MGAs are responding by embedding compliance, governance and risk management into a single operational framework, enabling real-time visibility, stronger oversight and audit-ready reporting.
Rather than treating compliance as an administrative obligation, forward-thinking firms are using it as a foundation for stronger relationships with insurers, faster approvals and greater confidence across their delegated authority arrangements.
This is exactly where REG helps organisations create value.
By bringing onboarding, due diligence, document management, TOBA distribution, ongoing monitoring and governance into one platform, MGAs gain continuous visibility across their counterparties while significantly reducing manual effort. The result is a more efficient operation, stronger regulatory oversight and a demonstrable governance framework that builds trust with carriers and partners alike.
More Than “The TOBA Guys”
For many years, REG has been recognised across the market for simplifying TOBA management. While that remains an important capability, conversations throughout the conference highlighted just how much the regulatory landscape has evolved.
Today’s MGAs need more than document distribution.
They need a single source of truth for managing counterparties throughout their lifecycle—from onboarding and regulatory due diligence through to continuous monitoring, governance and operational oversight.
The conversations we had throughout the exhibition reflected this shift.
Delegates were increasingly interested in how technology can reduce operational complexity, support Consumer Duty obligations, improve governance and provide greater confidence to both internal stakeholders and capacity providers.
It reinforced an important message for us.
REG has evolved alongside the market. We are proud of our heritage, but today’s platform delivers far more than TOBA management alone. It enables MGAs to build scalable, well-governed businesses that are prepared for increasing regulatory expectations while improving operational efficiency.
Investing in the Next Generation
Supporting the future of the market is equally important.
As part of the MGAA Next Gen programme, our Head of Marketing, Zoe Parsons, hosted the breakout session Make Your Mark: Personal Branding for the Next Gen alongside Billy Towner of Charles Taylor and George Abbott of The Insurer.
The session focused on helping young professionals understand the growing importance of personal branding and how developing an authentic professional presence can support long-term career progression.
Drawing on personal experiences and practical advice, the discussion explored how individuals can communicate their strengths with confidence, build meaningful industry relationships and increase their visibility while remaining true to their values.
The enthusiastic participation demonstrated the appetite for continued investment in developing future leaders across the MGA sector, something the MGAA Next Gen initiative continues to champion.
Looking Ahead
The MGAA Annual Conference remains one of the most important opportunities for the market to come together, exchange ideas and shape the future of delegated authority.
For REG, being an Annual Silver Sponsor is about far more than exhibiting at an event. It reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting the MGA community through innovation, collaboration and practical solutions that address the industry’s evolving challenges.
Whether through thought leadership, investing in the next generation of talent or helping firms strengthen governance and operational resilience, our focus remains the same: enabling MGAs to operate with greater confidence, efficiency and transparency.
Thank you to everyone who visited our stand, attended Graham’s TechZone presentation, or joined the MGAA Next Gen breakout session. We look forward to continuing the conversations started at the conference and supporting the MGA community as it continues to evolve.
After all, we’re proud of our reputation as “the TOBA guys”—but the conversations at this year’s conference confirmed what many of our customers already know.
We’re a whole lot more than that.
