“The insurance professionals who attend the Entrepreneurial Insurance Symposium represent the heart and spirit of both The National Alliance and of MarketScout: an entrepreneurial disposition, a spirit of innovation. Among the attendees are leaders in every aspect of our industry. Leadership comes from gaining knowledge, believing in yourself and having the courage to invest in yourself.

Richard Kerr, Chief Executive Office of MarketScout Corporation, offered this insight:
“MarketScout’s Entrepreneurial Symposium is an incredible opportunity to learn from the industry’s leading CEOs. This symposium is the only venue where successful CEOs share their vision for the future as well as what they have done right, what they have done wrong and what they would do differently if given a second chance. There are always around 400 registrants all of whom are searching for the newest distribution or underwriting channel. I love the networking opportunities and the way innovation and creativity is profiled at the symposium.”
