Rural & Small
2019 Highlights
T
his year’s Rural & Small Agents Conference, held at a new venue in Wichita, Kan., offered three days of networking functions
for companies and agencies, industry-leading education sessions, prizes, and more. Designed for professionals in our industry
of all levels and roles, this is an event you just can’t miss. Here are some of the highlights from the conference, in hopes you
will join us next year.
“
At Rural & Small, we got to spend time with companies in the
exhibit hall to find out what their plans are for the upcoming
year. This event gave us a tremendous opportunity to spend
time with our underwriters as well, because we know, if we’re
writing business, the underwriters are going to be the key. All
in all, it’s been a terrific week. We had a ball.”

Exhibitor Hall
With 71 returning and four first-time vendors, this year’s Exhibit Hall was packed
with a variety of booths from product and service providers to meet the needs of
our agents. From underwriters, roofing companies and technology professionals to
financing institutions, the Kansas Insurance Department, and more, the trade show
provided more relationship building opportunities for independent agents than
any other conference of its kind throughout the Midwest.
