WSIA 2021 Annual Marketplace Schedule: Wed., Nov. 17
All Annual Marketplace attendees are encouraged to attend U40-hosted educational sessions.
The Wholesale & Specialty Insurance Association’s U40 group is designed specifically for insurance professionals under the age of 40 who are currently employed by WSIA member firms.
U40 encourages the exchange of educational and industry-critical information among members, promotes professionalism, and is an avenue for young insurance professionals to become more involved in the surplus lines community. There is no charge to become a WSIA’s U40 member, and any under-40 employee of a WSIA member firm can apply online here.
U40 will host two sessions and a reception this week, and all Annual Marketplace attendees are invited to attend and participate.
Here’s a look at these and other upcoming events happy during the WSIA 2021 Annual Marketplace
