Yes, this event does have a virtual event option. Just select the “Virtual” option when registering.

NAMIC hybrid events offer both in-person and virtual registration options for property/casualty insurance industry professionals to gather, share insights, and learn about the latest issues impacting our industry. Attendees will have the choice to attend the same great NAMIC events in the setting of their choosing.

All sessions will be broadcast live during the scheduled event time and will include a live Q&A session with presenters. We strongly suggest attendees participate during the live broadcast; however, session recordings will be accessible on demand within 48 hours of the live broadcast.

Yes, you will be able to access the recordings through the end of 2021.

Business casual attire is appropriate for all educational sessions, receptions, and meal functions.

If you are attending the Farm Mutual Forum for PFMM maintenance, you are welcome to attend any sessions you choose.

No, you do not. The only sessions that are required are the PFMM courses for those who are working towards their PFMM designation. There does not have to be consistency in the types of sessions you choose to attend. We encourage you to attend courses that you will find most beneficial.

In an effort to provide our sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, and attendees the best level of service, we will send an electronic list of current event registrants to the attendee or email listed as the main contact as follows:

• Attendees: Approximately 10 days from the event in the pre-conference communication email;
• Exhibitors: Approximately 5-6 days in advance of the event with the pre-conference communication.
• Sponsors: Approximately 60 days, 30 days, and 15 days in advance of the event with paid sponsorship; and

We hope you will join us and be a part of the NAMIC community who have gathered over the Convention dates. If you attempt to reserve a room outside of NAMIC’s block, we are not able to assist you should you experience any problems with your reservation. We encourage you to reserve a room within the NAMIC block.

Registered guests are invited to attend the Chairman’s Reception on Sunday evening, the Monday Guest Lunch program, and the Wednesday Closing Celebration. Guests are also welcome at all general sessions.

These are three outstanding networking opportunities designed with specific audiences in mind.

Likewise, the Property Casualty Conference Senior Executive Roundtable Breakfast is intended for the senior management of property/casualty primary insurance companies. This breakfast will have roundtable discussions on topics related to their operations and encourage the sharing of ideas.
