• Enhance Your Advocacy Skills: Hear from the NABIP legislative team, who are on the front lines on Capitol Hill fighting for your industry. Learn how to effectively advocate for your clients and your business.
• Engage with Influential Leaders: Gain insights from influential congressional leaders on NABIP’s vital role in protecting the positions of benefits professionals and advocate for intelligent policies that advance our industry and benefit your clients.
• Experience the Strength of Community: If you’ve never attended a Capitol Conference, you’re missing out on seeing your association in action! Not only will you network with peers, but you’ll also leave with lasting friendships, bolstered by shared experiences and goals.
• Value-Added Breakout Sessions: The breakout sessions alone are worth the investment, offering tailored, in-depth discussions that address specific aspects of our industry and legislative landscape.
