  • Symposium 2011

    In 2007, the Entrepreneurial Insurance Symposium was created by MarketScout as a medium to profile innovation in the insurance industry. Creative, forward thinking insurers, intermediaries and agents participate in the symposium by sharing new ideas and concepts which will improve the process of insurance underwriting, distribution and technology. The National Alliance for Insurance Education and Research supports entrepreneurialism and as such has joined with MarketScout in a collective effort to foster creativity and new thought in the insurance industry.
