9. Regional Conferences
Who They’re For: Insurance agency owners, agents, producers, and teams across all regions
When & Where: Dates and locations vary, but there is likely one near you!
Many carriers have regional insurance conferences in 2023 planned. These conferences often provide a think-tank type of environment that allows you to hear from agents in your area about the following:
- What is working well for them and what isn’t
- Marketing and sales training and best practices
- Incentivizing producers
- Technology and tools they’ve implemented
Regional conferences are recommended, especially if your team can’t attend larger insurance conferences in 2022 or 2023.
Why Attend An Insurance Conference? 6 Reasons
- Professional development events help your team—and your agency—grow. Events are an excellent way to learn from many different agents, leaders, and more. You’ll inevitably return from a conference energized, with new ideas and practices to try.
- Conferences provide a plentiful supply of networking opportunities. Meeting attendees from across the country and beyond can open the door to new relationships. Be proactive, put yourself out there and get in front of as many new people as possible.
- You’ll get to experience a new city. Conferences are held year-round in different cities. You can explore new destinations and enjoy some leisure time after or before an event.
- Conferences are a good way to invest in your business. You may not be able to bring everyone on your team, but even footing the bill for one or two team members to attend is a good investment because everyone will benefit from their shared knowledge.
- If you interact, learn, and network, your ROI will be significant. Yes, you’ll incur an upfront cost to attend, but lots of what you learn can be applied almost immediately. But you have to listen to keynotes and take full advantage of every opportunity to learn while you’re there. Be as involved as possible!
Add Conferences Into Your Budget
Many agents have told us that they see an ROI almost immediately after returning from a conference. Implementing new ideas, methods, and practices is a great way to build a business. And if you plan ahead, you can save on upfront expenses. Most conferences have a discounted early bird rate or a lower group rate. Being one of the first to register can be more cost-effective.
