Every year, the insurance industry's most important conversations happen in person — at roundtables, in hallways between sessions, and across coffee tables at events that bring carriers, agents, MGAs, and solution providers under the same roof. That's as true today as it's ever been.
In 2026, Ivans is continuously showing up alongside our sister company, Cytora, at the events that matter most. From insurtech-focused gatherings in New York to flagship conferences in Washington, D.C., our team will be on the ground meeting with partners, learning from industry leaders, and having the kinds of conversations that move the industry forward.
We’re touring across the industry year-round. Here's where you'll find us (or where you may have already met us).
