SNL Insurance Brokerage Summit

Presented by SNL Financial in collaboration with Marsh, Berry & Co.

This year's Summit brings together leading executives, advisors, and analysts from across the insurance brokerage industry for an informed discussion of strategic planning, growth and the outlook for M&A in the insurance distribution marketplace.

Insurance brokers face multiple headwinds -- an exceptionally challenging economy, tight capital, premium compression and continued pressure from carriers to refocus operating capacity towards high-growth, low-loss organizations. At the same time, the market is experiencing a dynamic shift in the merger and acquisition environment.

Join us for panel discussions as leading executives and value-creators share their insights and guidance on the industry's dynamics and strategies for maximizing value today.
