As the Florida Association of Insurance Agents prepares to hold its 104th Annual Convention and Educational Symposium in Orlando this month, much of the discussion among agents is expected to surround topics such as the major property legislation recently enacted. However, it would be an injustice to describe the convention's purpose solely as a meeting to cover the recent legislation out of Tallahassee. In fact, professional agents are much more likely to be concerned with the availability of markets, commission rates, agency management services, and other business practices that have a direct effect on the their bottom lines.

FAIA's annual conference caters to the many concerns of agents by offering three days of breakout sessions that cover topics ranging from ethics to claims to operating an efficient and profitable agency. The convention also will offer agents the opportunity to meet hundreds of exhibitors and network with other agents. This year's convention is highlighted by keynote speaker Tony Snow, who recently served as the White House press secretary. Brian Billick, former head coach of the Baltimore Ravens also will be on hand to describe what it takes to win a Super Bowl.
