Toggle 'Free events only' in the finder to see them all.

Which conferences are best for TPAs, brokers, and self-funded plans?

For the self-funded and TPA world, the flagship events are the SIIA National Conference, HCAA Executive Forum and TPA Summit, and the SIIA Spring Exchange. Benefits brokers and advisors gather at the CIAB Employee Benefits Leadership Forum, BenefitsPRO Broker Expo, and NABIP's national and state conventions. Filter by the 'TPA & Self-Funded' or 'Brokers & Advisors' category above.

How do I find out which companies and brokers are attending a conference?

Attendee lists are rarely published, but you can build a target list of the employers, brokers, and TPAs likely to attend by cross-referencing the event's audience with benefits data. Hillwinds maps companies by carrier, broker relationship, plan funding, renewal window, and geography — so you can walk into any of these rooms knowing exactly which accounts to work.
