Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s conference. What an energizing few days of connection, collaboration, and shared purpose across our insurance community.

Across every session, conversation, and gathering, we saw the strength of our broker relationships, the value of peer learning, and the momentum that comes from working together to move our industry forward. From emerging leaders to experienced voices, your insights and engagement helped shape meaningful conversations about the future of insurance in B.C.

📷A photo gallery from the conference will be available soon so you can revisit the moments that made this event so special.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to keep the momentum going with a couple of key IBABC events:

What a way to kick off Day 2 🚀
 
Rocky Ozaki brought energy, insight, and plenty of ideas to get everyone thinking about the future of work, innovation, and AI. His session challenged us to consider what’s ahead for our industry while exploring how technology can be embraced in meaningful ways without losing the human connection at the heart of great service and strong relationships.
 
An engaging and thought-provoking start to the day that left plenty for attendees to reflect on and discuss.
