There are a variety of new additions and changes to the 2009 NAIFA Convention and Career Conference Program. These brilliant new ideas are the result of listening to past attendees, NAIFA members and advisors like you.

You wanted more educational workshops, so we have more than doubled the number of available sessions. You told us networking is one of the most important benefits of the conference, so we added tabletop networking discussions to the program. You understand how important the Convention is for the governance and leadership of your association, but you also wanted more value for the attendee who is not a National Council Delegate. Our program includes separate General Sessions and National Council Sessions to provide more flexibility and opportunities in your conference schedule.   

You want programming that speaks directly to your interests and needs. That is why there are workshops specifically of interest to advisors who specialize in life and annuities sales, health and employee benefits, multiline, financial advising and investments as well as programming tracks of interest to young advisors and managers/GAMA members. There are sales and prospecting sessions, practice management sessions and leadership sessions. And, there is programming focused on association issues, particularly NAIFA’s vital legislative and advocacy efforts. And, there is dedicated programming for association executives.

Many of you wish you could have attended previous conventions but could not afford the time to attend the whole event. For you, we have added a new one-day registration option. One-day registrations are available for Sunday, Monday or Tuesday of the Convention and Career Conference. If you can’t make it for the full Convention and Career Conference, you can still take advantage of one-day’s worth of General Sessions, educational workshops, networking sessions, the NAIFA Expo and more.
