LIDMA is the life insurance industry's most focused gathering of high performance direct response marketers, producers, underwriters and service providers who are driving positive changes in the distribution of life insurance in order to benefit middle market consumers.
"The theme and content of this Fall's meeting, 'Making the Big Easy,' will reveal how effective change and innovation continue to revolutionize the life insurance markets," remarked LIDMA president Jan Pinney. "We are filling up fast for what promises to be the biggest and best LIDMA conference yet. This is the place you'll want to be if you are involved in life insurance underwriting, distribution or support services."
Pinney continued, "The pace of innovation is increasing in the life insurance space, which is very good for life insurance shoppers."
Attendance at the LIDMA Fall Meeting & Showcase is available only to LIDMA members.
Pinney added, "This year, we're making it attractive for life insurers, banks and financial institutions who are eyeing this space by offering discounted annual membership fees for first-time producers at the low cost of $495, which includes a 50% discount." Information on the various membership categories and pricing is available at www.lidma.org.
More and more life insurance buyers are becoming self-directed and using direct response channels as their preferred method of purchasing life insurance. Recent trends in the direct-to-consumer sector have seen accelerated interest from big box stores, electronic retailers, search engine companies, banks, credit unions and other companies that command vast audiences. LIDMA is the primary organization dedicated to supporting business and professionals who are active in this new and rapidly expanding channel.
