If you want to get ahead in this industry you need to attend. Making connections in this industry is crucial. The friends I made when I first joined insurance are now managers of underwriting at various companies which comes in handy when you need a favor. Insurance is such an encompassing field. It is great to network and see what others are doing to help you business. I have been able to call on friends I have met at convention to ask questions, bounce ideas off of, or just to shoot the wind. I would not have such and expansive knowledge base nor network had it not been for CONVO.

CONVO is the best place to meet not only company representatives but other agents as well. The camaraderie of agents at this event is energizing! The best insurance relationships I have are the ones that were the most random meetings. You truly do not know how strong a connection can be until you make the first greeting. Through these relationships, my agency has referred clients, accepted referrals, and was able to retain business that we may have otherwise lost. That alone makes attending CONVO worth my time, money, and energy.

I go to CONVO every year for many reasons. A big part of our success as an agency is being knowledgeable on current insurance issues and practices. The Convo provides the best platform for me to get expert opinion and advice on trends, coverage concerns, and new products. Convo provides a relaxed setting where initial connections can be made and relationships can be strengthened. I can meet with industry leaders and those to whom I look up to at the Convo. It’s a welcoming environment where I can seek advice from them.
