Young Agents Leadership Conference

Young Agents Leadership Conf.

Relaunched Event a Success for Our Industry's Future

When Insurors President Bob McIntire said he wanted to "bring back" the Young Agents Conference that so many of our Association leaders have talked about for years – our Young Agents Committee got to work. With the vision of creating both a place to network and learn as well as an environment of getting to know each other and our Insurors Board, it wasn't an easy task. But the Committee, led by Derek Wright of Graham & Cook in Knoxville, was up for it.

The group put together an outstanding lineup of speakers, featuring some of the most well known "influencers" in the insurance industry: David Carothers, Ashley Fitzsimmons, Bradley Flowers, Scott Howell, Sydney Roe and Olivia Schmitt led workshops and recorded content for their podcasts and social media. The topics for the event included sales, marketing, data, and culture, and there was plenty of great discussion and interaction with the group.

Hosted at the Dollywood DreamMore resort, there were 37 Young Agents in attendance, representatives from some of our industry Partners, the Insurors Board of Directors, and other Association leaders. We've had some great feedback on the event so far, but even if you missed this year's conference don't worry, we're planning to make this one an annual affair! u
