NIBA CONVENTION / Peeking Behind the Curtain

“The rapid increase in the use of videoconferencing and other online communication platforms and applications over the last few years has undeniably brought with it many positives, however there is no substitute for in person networking and engagement,” he said.

“Taking the opportunity to spend time with colleagues and peers in a less formal and structured environment, where relationships can be nurtured and strengthened is incredibly important.”

Mr Wheeler emphasised the significance of networking for young professionals looking to make a mark in the industry and build lasting professional relationships that can help further your career.

“Personally, as a young professional in the industry, I understand the importance of networking and building connections,” he said.

“I am excited about the experience and networking opportunities that the NIBA Convention provides, and I believe it is an excellent platform for young professionals looking to grow their career in the insurance industry.”

Ms Keegan is proud of the diversity of knowledge and experiences that has helped the Convention to stand out and make its mark.

“The NIBA Convention brings together brokers from large corporates, independents, AR networks and small businesses,” said Ms Keegan.

“It’s the only conference that has such a diverse range of attendees, so the diversity of knowledge and experience is what makes it great from my perspective and really differentiates it from the other conferences.”

Mr Wheeler highlighted the fact that the NIBA Convention is a specially curated experience that catered to a diverse range of attendees and their needs – whether that is networking, career progression, industry insights or business growth.

“The NIBA Convention provides me with an opportunity to meet with industry leaders and regulatory officials, gaining insight into market trends and regulatory changes,” he said.

“The Convention’s diverse range of panel discussions, keynote speeches, and networking events allows me to learn and understand new concepts and perspectives.”

Mr Giorgatzis noted that the energy and enthusiasm that the Convention brings with it are second to none. This energised atmosphere that promotes a robust exchange of ideas and new ways of looking at the world will leave a lasting, positive impact.

“All in all, it is shaping up to be a fantastic Convention, loaded with thought-provoking content,” he said.

The NIBA difference: A community like no other

While there are other conferences held throughout the year, the NIBA Convention has always held a special place and has captured the hearts and minds of everyone in the industry.

Our Committee members have their own theories as to what sets this Convention apart from the others. According to Ms Zaccone, it is the NIBA community that truly makes the Convention a unique experience.

“I think the NIBA community offers something really bespoke and different to the others, it’s more personal,” said Ms Zaccone.

“Attendees will walk away with new information, new contacts and new ideas that they will be able to take back to their businesses and leverage for their clients’ benefit and their own professional development.”
