The conference kicked off with a networking lounge at the center of the biggest insurance exhibition in the Northeast, featuring hors d'oeuvres and drinks. Insurance professionals joined colleagues for two days of making valuable contacts and getting up-to-date with events to help them grow their business. Hundreds of vendors, eager to meet with agents from some of the biggest PIA-affiliate states, came to check out the latest innovations, products and markets.

“We have attended numerous conventions and conferences across the U.S., and the PIA Conference, by far is the best … beginning with the warm welcome on Sunday, to the final wrap on Tuesday, there was no doubt that the conference was on time, on point and detail-oriented,” said Greg Feeney, director of sales at Ontrak Solutions, one of the nearly 200 vendors that filled the trade show.
