“Without question, the best conference I have been to in my 30 years of healthcare experience. Almost all conferences, I have previously invested time and money resulted in little or no actual contact with meaningful prospects. The uniquely executed “speed dating” concept to request and meet with conference participants was the most productive time I have ever spent at a conference.” 
Geri Ann Cangelosi, Aegis Administrative Services, Inc.  

“This year’s Voluntary Benefits Conference was a real pleasure. The hotel was absolutely gorgeous right across from Sony Pictures. Hollywood types in and out of the hotel lobby. I enjoyed seeing old associates and making new connections. I expect some of those new contacts will be profitable for years to come.”
