It’s almost time for a brand new virtual event from Insurance Business, free for brokers and risk managers.

Broker Connect is Canada’s new networking event dedicated exclusively to brokers and insurance professionals, aimed at uniting the industry for networking and business during these difficult times.

This free online event – the first of its kind in the market – allows brokers to visit virtual booths, arrange one-to-one video chats, gain or distribute brand awareness, leverage new connections in a timely and exciting way, and generally keep the wheels of their business turning.

There will also be a keynote discussion panel – ‘What's next? How the coronavirus pandemic has changed (and will change) our industry’ – featuring the following big-name industry players:
