Continued consolidation continues to change and homogenize the landscape. The aging-in of the baby boomer generation is poised to present huge opportunities.

Come hear from the best and the brightest in the Medicare sales and marketing arena in 18 sessions on:

• The latest market intelligence on member behavior • Leadership perspectives on the current trends, threats and

opportunities in the marketplace• The leading edge in technology, including web portal

innovation, Big Data, and automation• Winning strategies in distribution channel optimization,

connecting with age-ins, working with Star Ratings, preparing for and managing AEP season, converting leads into sales, conducting successful sales meetings, and outsourcing to brokers

• The new best practices in providing leadership to the marketing and sales forces

• How to engage local and community-based organizations as allies

• What you need to know now about marketing and sales compliance and regulations

It is a crucial time to network with your colleagues and make connections with the dawning of a new era in Medicare sales. Attend this event to ensure the success of your career and your business.
