Description

Young Insurance Professionals 2027 Winter Conference... 

Y2K Called Your RAZR. It's Time To Network

Everything old is new again as we dial-up a NEW LOCATION and NEW SCHEDULE for the YIP 2027 Winter Conference.

Want to stack your Myspace Top 8? Grab your flip phone, throw on your favorite velour tracksuit, and join us for the can't-miss insurance event of the winter! The Young Insurance Professionals invite you to the Markham Hotel in Gulfport, Mississippi, for two days packed with valuable education, meaningful networking, exhibit hall engagement, and unforgettable social events.

Whether you're an agent or company representative, this conference offers the perfect opportunity to strengthen relationships, stay ahead of industry trends, and grow your professional network. With a nostalgic Y2K flair and a focus on the future of insurance, you'll leave energized, connected, and ready for what comes next.


That's Hot: Two Full Days of Connections

We've expanded the conference schedule to give you even more opportunities to learn, connect, and make memories.

Here's What's on Your iPod's Playlist:

  • Fill your social calendar and professional toolkit with three continuing education opportunities while learning from industry leaders.
  • The YIP Dot-Com Expo is where everyone's gathering. Grab your cargo pants and trucker hats and connect with carriers, markets, and industry professionals in an exhibit hall where the networking is always in style.
  • Discover the Hidden Network during Thursday's special break. Think of it as finding the bonus track on your favorite CD.
  • Bring your BFF and keep the fun going at our downtown After Party Thursday night as we celebrate old-school style and new connections.
