You walk in and are surrounded by the buzz of 75 industry exhibitors, leading experts, members of the Vermont regulatory team, and fellow attendees — meeting, reconnecting, and talking about everything from transforming the captive industry to their dog’s latest mischievous adventure.
Whether you’ve been waiting all year to reconnect with people you’ve met in the past, or you can’t wait to meet new faces, VCIA’s Annual Conference is the place for networking. Every year we make sure to celebrate our differences and similarities in an educational and motivational setting like no other.
If you’re a first-time attendee, prepare yourself for the welcoming, Vermont-style environment we’re known for. Regardless of who you approach, you are sure to be received with a smile and curiosity. And if you are unsure who to approach, make sure to check in with exhibitors (some even offer prizes, and all offer great industry insights).
We heavily recommend that if you use classic business cards or take advantage of our conference app, Whova (which guarantees contact and information exchange at your fingertips), you be ready to make meaningful connections at any second. Be on the look out for that next month!
We are aware of the times and recognize that there are many ways to network in our modern world, so we also facilitate connections through our conference app. You can follow threads and meetups, join discussion groups, and participate. We did not incorporate the app with the intention of discouraging in-person interaction though, and we encourage you to approach speakers from sessions you loved and make those spontaneous connections everywhere you go.
As one participant puts it: “If there’s one conference you should attend as a captive owner, risk manager, or service provider, I recommend you strongly consider VCIA. The educational and networking opportunities are consistently top notch.”
Regardless of your experience with VCIA, which events you attend, and how you choose to connect, we are confident you will have a great time, so join us August 11-13 in Burlington, Vermont. Register at vcia.com. To take advantage of early bird rates register before June 30th.
