The National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) will host its “virtual convention” and digital networking opportunities in late October.

This year’s program will be held via a digital format from Monday October 26 to Friday October 30.

NIBA decided to scrap its popular annual gathering which had been planned at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre this year due to coronavirus fears. It usually attracts hundreds of brokers.

Next year’s NIBA Convention is scheduled for the Gold Coast from October 11-12, offering brokers a chance to network with colleagues from across the nation and develop relationships with insurers, underwriters and exhibitors.
