Presentation Proposal Submissions Are Closed
The deadline to submit a presentation proposal for the 2026 American Agents Alliance Conference & Expo has passed, and we are no longer accepting submissions for this year’s event.
We appreciate the interest of industry professionals who considered sharing their expertise, experience, and insights with our attendees. Presentation proposals play an important role in helping us build an educational program that is timely, practical, and relevant to independent insurance agents and other industry professionals.
Planning for the 2027 American Agents Alliance Conference & Expo will begin in the coming months. Please check back in early spring 2027 for updated information, submission guidelines, deadlines, and details about the opportunity to present at next year’s conference.
We look forward to reviewing new presentation proposals for 2027 and continuing to offer sessions that address the issues, opportunities, and challenges facing today’s insurance industry.
