ABOUT THE CONFERENCE TESTIMONIALS This is my second year attending the conference and this is one of the best conferences related to the NFIP. Great to hear important + relevant topics from a private industry perspective vs. FEMA. Really happy to see the increased demographic diversity of both attendees & presenters. We are new members, but the conference more than delivered content & industry leaders. Everyone was friendly & appreciated opportunity to network. Enjoyed the well-rounded panels that support the hub concept. Event is always well organized, easy to participate and worthwhile. Perfect amount of time, great location, and time of year (weather is beautiful). The conference committee does an outstanding job. Lots of networking opportunities.
