One of the biggest mistakes agencies make is sending employees to conferences without a plan. The most successful conference experiences start before the attendee ever arrives and continue long after they return.

That's why we've developed a Young Agents Conference Playbook for attendees of the 2026 Young Agents Conference. The guide helps young professionals:
✔️ Connect conference sessions to agency goals
✔️ Have productive conversations with supervisors
✔️ Capture ideas that can improve agency performance
✔️ Return with an action plan instead of just notes

If you're considering sending a young professional to this year's conference, this resource can help ensure the experience delivers value for both the employee and your agency.

Download the playbook today and register today!

Why should you attend? Because being an insurance agency that “does everything” can make it harder for prospects to understand why they should choose you.

https://members.iiav.com/ap/Events/Register/3BFg55zFYCQCg

✔️ Stand out from competitors
✔️ Attract the right prospects
✔️ Build credibility and expertise
✔️ Strengthen your marketing message
✔️ Create new opportunities for revenue growth

August 13, 2026, 12:00–1:30 PM ET
