As we slowly emerge from the shadow of the pandemic, what will our new reality look like? That’s one of the many themes we’ll be discussing at the upcoming BenefitsPRO Broker Expo in San Diego, August 16-18th. 

Our industry is very familiar with change and disruption, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that advisors and others in the benefits community are experts at creating opportunity and growth during times of upheaval.  

The coming years will present both enormous turmoil and unprecedented opportunity as innovative new strategies, solutions and products continue to create levers and tools that can help benefits advisors make significant improvements for employers and fuel the growing sense of excitement, enthusiasm and collaboration within our industry.

Our 17th annual BenefitsPRO Broker Expo will bring our industry back together again in person, providing plenty of opportunities for education, networking and fun. 

This year’s keynote sessions feature leaders in health care, politics and business innovation:
