The only cost to agents and CSRs is for optional luncheons and golf if you so choose.

Valuable Continuing Education Topics Covered

On Thursday morning you can learn “How to Evaluate, Buy & Sell a ‘Mom & Pop’ Insurance Agency” or “How to Get Heard in this Noisy World”. Learn the fundamentals of branding and ways to promote your message online, through social media, and through traditional media channels.

On Thursday afternoon you can learn the “Basics of Flood Insurance” or find out why “Medicare is a Must-Have Addition to your Portfolio” and everything you need to know on how to protect your agency and commercial clients from “Cyber Hacking”.

Also on Thursday afternoon you can attend a mock trial in which the agent is accused of saying “You’re fully covered” in a homeowner loss or learn the new changes in Flood Elevation plus how to create a marketing video for your flood insurance program.

On Friday morning you can earn 2 hours Ethics CE and learn how to be on page #1 in Google search or be updated on workers compensation and nonsubscription plus the art of arbitration.

Agents and CSRs can tour the Trade Show Thursday and Friday afternoons followed by a wide range of Hospitality Suite events.

 

Registration is free but you must register online at www.PIATX.org because seating is limited.

 

iMGA is a proud member of both the Texas Professional Insurance Agents and the Independent Insurance Agents of Texas.

Both organizations have conferences coming up soon, and so we thought this would be a good time to see how many of our agents are members.

UPDATE (as of 5/13/2011 at 3:10CST): 89.0% of respondents are IIAT members, 12.3% are PIA members, 5.5% will be attending the PIA convention, and 26.0% will be attending the IIAT Convention.
