As a Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB), Advize understands the paradoxical relationship between budgetary limitations and the importance of conference attendance. Many conferences come with a steeply-priced ticket, but they offer invaluable opportunities for networking and client acquisition. The more clients your firm acquires, the more conferences you’re able to attend. But the question remains, where do you begin? As a small business, it’s safe to assume that your budget isn’t as large as other insurance and/or healthcare players. Your time and money are important, so how do you know which conferences you should attend?
We’ve taken our conference-going experiences and assembled a list of conferences that are more than just events; they’re investments.
- Eastern Claims Conference – The ECC is an educational conference for all insurance professionals. Appealing to the medical, legal, disability, and life insurance industries, the Eastern Claims Conference offers seminars and networking events outside of the typical highly niche market – facilitating network expansion. After a 40-year tenure in New York City, the Eastern Claims Conference has revamped their program to include professional development and relocated to Boston, MA.
