NAMIC welcomes speaking proposals from a variety of educational providers, professional speakers, member company representatives, and industry partners. A full list of event dates and locations can be found on the NAMIC event calendar.
NAMIC's main objective is to develop content that is educational in nature, timely, reflective of the issues affecting the mutual insurance industry, and useful in helping solve real-world problems. Though some events offer paid speaking opportunities, preference is generally given to industry speakers and partners.
Proposals must be educational in nature; sales pitches without any educational element will not be considered. Committees of representatives from NAMIC member companies work to identify topics of interest for most events each year, but proposals are welcomed for any topic you feel is relevant.
Target audiences and sample lists of past attendees can be found on the General Information page for each event. Most events begin programming speakers approximately one year in advance with most sessions confirmed within six months of the event.
