The AMSUG 34^th National Conference is the “Must Attend” event of the year.

March 24-27, some of the nation's most influential agents will be attending the AMSUG National Conference, where will you be?

Thousands of agents will gather to learn, network, and hear about the latest offerings.
As the industry’s premier education event, this conference attracts the most influential independent agents from around the country.
Recognizing that learning is the key to being successful with today’s technology, they’ll explore new ideas and focus on proven technologies.

This year’s theme is Dream, Dare, Do:

Dreaming about ways to improve our business
Daring to take the steps
Doing what it takes—a winning combination.

Last year, our Exhibit Area sold out—and for good reason.

The Exhibit Area is a must-see for every conference attendee, with special events, networking and exclusive times to explore the exhibits, without rushing or “missing” something else.
Agents look, listen and stay a while, asking questions, and hearing what you have to say.
There’s no better way to get in front of so many decision-makers in just a matter of days.
