Unifying diversity
Article Abstract:
Planners of insurance conferences may have to deal with individuals with diverse ethnic or political interests. One way to create unity and encourage the participation of the conference attendees is to create a theme that promotes a common cause. Demographic research on the attendees and surveys of participants can help planners create a successful theme. One successful theme at conferences has been that of the mini-olympics, a series of games for teams.

Watching conference dollars
Article Abstract:
A first-class sales conference for an average insurance company can cost about $200,000. Planners should first determine if there is a satisfactory need for such a conference. The impact on the company's balance sheet, weighed against conference benefits, should also be considered. Another major factor for insurance conference planners is determining who is eligible to attend the conference.
