The 22nd Annual TMPAA Summit drew nearly 1,300 attendees to Scottsdale, AZ making it the largest event to date. Networking and program business deal-making opportunities–undoubtedly the hallmark of this annual meeting–were abundant. Headline speakers David Howden, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, and Ron Insana shared insights on the insurance industry, business, leadership, and the economy. Other sessions included M&A and valuation outlook for program business, using equity vehicles to attract/retain employees, and the potential industry impact of the midterm election results.

Attendee List Solicitation Policy

Forging business connections is critical to the success of the TMPAA and our members. Our goal is to create an environment that allows members the opportunity to inform others of their specific solution or product. With more than 150 Service Provider members, many in the Association have expressed concerns about the volume of email messages in advance of our events. To address these concerns, the Advisory Board has recommended a strategy and policy for communicating with potential business partners in the group. Members can expect full details soon.
