Thank you to everyone who attended Go Big!
May 24, 2023 | Fox Hollow | Woodbury, NY
Even if you only attend one insurance event this year, it should be Go Big 2023. This one-day event was crafted specifically for NY agencies.
You know who you are. The ones driven towards success. The businesses who look for insights that only the industry’s foremost thought-leaders can provide. The leaders who build value in their organization and simultaneously empower team members to super-serve customers.
NY agencies are strong and committed. And Go Big will give you the information, tools, and connections to do more.
Insights you'll learn: The state of the P&C market - and what’s coming, pro tips for communicating in a hard market, which tech platforms agencies are using and how each impacts value, the IOT you need to understand that will impact risk and rates, and how to attract and keep superstar young talent.
You’ll also connect with best-in-class solution providers and network with people who can make a difference. And...be entered for cash prizes.
* Important * We’ll be in a beautiful space in the center of Long Island this year. Not only will it make for an ideal setting, the space limits the number of members we can include. SPACE IS VERY LIMITED - register quickly. Go Big 2023 will sell out.

Brooke Lugonjic | MarshBerry
It's rarely easy to get prospects and customers to understand the immense value you bring to the table (until there's a claim). Add on rising premium costs and team members with less hard-market experience, and the task becomes more challenging. Learn the language and strategy you need to communicate value and grow.
