The #FIAAdviceSummit took place on 10 October at Emperors Palace, in Gauteng, where Brokers, Insurers, Suppliers and other industry greats were in attendance.
This one-day conference is aimed to provide delegates with insights into the latest trends, intelligence and thinking to help them differentiate themselves and to provide correct advice to the consumer. Partner activations, networking opportunities and 7 CPD hours were on offer.
With this years theme being Collaboration Breeds Success, it was exactly that as those in attendance were provided with presentations and exhibitions of the highest calibre around the theme.
Delegates arrived early on the day to enjoy the partner activations:
- Freshly brewed coffees courtesy of Guardrisk.
- 1Life ensured the registration process was seamless.
- Delicious cupcakes and donuts celebrating CIB’s 25 years in the industry.
- Hollard provided an exciting augmented reality experience.
- Momentum kicked the day off with a healthy start of freshly pressed juices.
- PG Glass held various competitions, showed the delegates their new windscreen product and sponsored the DJ for the networking afterwards.
- Acuideas had a whole bunch of goodies and some tasty popcorn on offer
- Auto & General delighted everyone’s taste buds with their chocolate tasting.
- Videography was powered by Constantia Insurance.
Delegates were able to access the dedicated Wi-Fi courtesy of Sasria, while Elite Risk and Western ran a social media competition and lucky ticket underneath two unsuspecting delegates seats respectively.
It really was a great day out, but could not have been made possible without the generous support from our partners. A massive Thanks goes out to you all.
