Hartford is losing a signature insurance industry event, InsurTech Hartford Symposium, to the allure of Mohegan Sun, amid growing competition between convention centers in the region.
Held at the Connecticut Convention Center since 2019, InsurTech Hartford is the most recent example of a large event to move from downtown Hartford to Uncasville.
While InsurTech Hartford will retain the Capital City in its name, the annual symposium will take place at the resort and casino’s Earth Expo & Convention Center on May 2 and 3 of 2023.
“Big picture, we have seen a slower recovery than what we would have anticipated,” said Charles H. Johnson IV, chief executive of Chicago-based Johnson Consulting.
The traveling exhibit "Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel," featuring giant blow-ups of panels from the world-famous Italian masterpiece, is at the Connecticut Convention Center through June 26.
