Exhibitor/Sponsor Participation
Since 1981, NAILBA’s Annual Meeting has showcased the latest trends, technologies, and innovations across the insurance and financial services industry and wholesale brokerage distribution channels. Over the years, our annual meeting has become known across the industry as the most influential convention for America’s independent brokers and brokerage professionals. From Member Agency C-level executives and staff (re: case managers, admin, operations, etc.) to carrier executives and senior leadership teams to 100+ sponsors and exhibitors who provide BGA products and services, this gathering is where the brokerage industry meets.

Why Sponsor NAILBA 42?
NAILBA’s annual meeting is the largest gathering of independent brokerage professionals in the country. 90% of NAILBA’s member agency principals have attended one or more annual meetings in the last four years. We offer a multitude of sponsorship packages both on-site at NAILBA 42 and beyond to maximize your company’s visibility within the NAILBA and Finseca communities.

Why Exhibit at NAILBA 42?
Unlike many other conventions and industry events, the NAILBA Exhibit Hall is part of our Annual Meeting experience. The NAILBA team actively incorporates various ways of driving foot traffic to our exhibit booths – including, but not limited to:

• Breakfasts, Lunches, and Coffee Breaks in the Exhibit Hall

• Opening Reception in the Exhibit Hall (800+ Attendees): The Exhibit Hall will open with a ribbon cutting, libations toast and two hours of attendee excitement with entertainment, open bar and a re-imagined food offering.

• NAILBA Charitable Foundation Live Auction & Reception: Prior to the Mooers Dinner is a reception for all event attendees. The reception features a live charitable auction that supports the NAILBA Charitable Foundation, and takes place in the exhibit hall. Since 2002, NAILBA Charitable Foundation grants have helped worthwhile philanthropic organizations plant seeds of change in their communities.

• Douglas Mooers Award Dinner: The Douglas Mooers Award for Excellence is NAILBA’s most coveted and prestigious award. This award is presented annually at the Mooers Dinner.
