New for 2019, the NAILBA ID 20 award will honor a diverse group of insurance professionals who are the most fascinating trailblazers, change-makers or architects shaping the future of independent distribution. The award will recognize pioneers who have made important contributions to the insurance profession, not only for those on the inside but also for the public. In some cases, honorees will be well known, but in other instances, the award will recognize people who have made important, but unheralded contributions. These are people who inspire us by their intelligence, creativity, and leadership.

The life insurance and annuities industry has struggled to achieve growth during the past 10 years. The slow integration of digital technology and the traditional workforce have served as obstacles to expansion. In this discussion, Larry Berran, the new CEO of iPipeline, will discuss how iPipeline’s digital platform with data analytics, nationwide network, and effective agent and advisor outreach capabilities can leverage trigger events to unleash unprecedented industry growth.
What is the future of your product? What should we be looking out for? What direction is the company moving in? What are your plans for independent brokerage distribution? Marketing? Technology? This session is part of NAILBA's 2019 Thought Leadership and Business Practices Initiative to help BGA Principals grow their agency business and further understand marketplace direction.
Part creepy and part surprise, the future is going to be driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Huge power lies in smart algorithms combined with the vast amount of big data generated by sensors, Internet of Things devices, and human behavior—from financial transactions to social interactions to increasingly trackable behavior. How will AI help members make better decisions? How will it affect or even potentially replace some human tasks altogether? How could it alter long-standing practices in your industry? Where do business opportunities lie in leveraging new technological capabilities, and how can associations prepare for these changes? The key, according to Dr. Jennifer Golbeck, is to focus on the strategic impact of these technologies. As Director of the Social Intelligence Lab at the University of Maryland, College Park, Dr. Golbeck not only studies the most cutting-edge developments in Artificial Intelligence up close, but she and her team create the types of algorithms that are making those types of advancements possible in the first place. Look at how scientists and companies are leveraging big social data to develop new insights into customers and what they want. Learn how to recognize disruptive AI, assess its potential, and prepare for a data- and algorithm-driven future.
Combined with main stage presentations (Ted Talk Style), deeper dive workshops and a companion business report, the 2019 Thought Leadership and Business Practices Initiative is a redefining of NAILBA’s value for Brokerage General Agencies (BGA). It is a platform developed to help mature BGAs and NextGen leaders overcome historical sticking points and navigate potential opportunities and threats.
The need for LTC protection is growing. Baby Boomers are leading the pack, but GenX and Millennials are gaining ground as they see their own families wrangling LTC needs. Industry expert, Tracey Edgar, and a panel of market leaders will discuss when traditional options are the way to go, when to charge ahead with asset-based options, and how to drive conversations in your business, whether you’re a large agency or individual producer.
The NAILBA’s Charitable Foundation has raised and distributed more than $3 million in donations distributed to more than 200 community organizations nationwide since the Foundation was established in 2002. During the 2018 fiscal year, NAILBA members and industry partners raised more than $230,000 to over 15 community organizations.
Bid early, bid often! Join us in the Exhibit Hall Town Square to support the NAILBA Charitable Foundation. Drinks aplenty! Most importantly, what will Steve Katz' custom suit look like this year?
The Douglas Mooers Award for Excellence is the National Association of Independent Life Brokerage Agencies’ most coveted and prestigious award. Named after NAILBA’s Founding Chairman, H. Douglas Mooers, the Mooers Award was established in May of 1986. This annual award honors excellence in brokerage and is bestowed upon the individual most committed to furthering brokerage and independent life brokerage as a distribution system.
Leaving early? Bad move. You will miss Chad Milner, NAILBA Chair Elect deliver his state of association speech and plans for NAILBA in 2020. Chad is CEO of The Milner Group (Georgia). The Milner Group and their affiliates are held in the highest regard by insurance carriers in the industry, which is evidenced by the fact that members of their organization have served on Agency Advisory Councils for many of the companies they represent.
A signature moment of any Mooers Dinner, raise a glass and toast this year's Douglas Mooers Award recipient.
