The National Association of Supplemental Benefit Insurance (NASBI), the nation’s leading advocacy organization for supplemental health benefits professionals, hosted its 16th annual Supplemental Benefits Forum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Life/Short Term Disability track highlighted the latest developments in these specialties and looked at innovative ways to market what some consider to be lower-growth products.
The General track offered a host of opportunities to learn about compliance, corporate responsibility, technology, value-added services, industry innovations, and more!

This is absolutely one of the premier events in the insurance industry. This is an opportunity to get a wealth of industry knowledge in one place — and do some high-level networking as well.” -Darrell Spell, member of the NASBI Board of Directors and Principal of Milliman, Inc.
