October 13th through 16th, 2026 at the Riverside Hotel in Fort Lauderdale.
The largest annual gathering of financial institutions and product and service partners focused on serving protection needs to enhance client relationships.
The FIIC is focused on helping financial institutions realize the potential for fulfilling the Protection Needs of their clients. Our belief is that financial institutions must help their clients not only manage their assets, but also protect their assets. Otherwise, they are doing only half their job.
The Annual Summit, with its Networking with Purpose format, will serve this objective by bringing together the most powerful executives and entities for a dynamic best-practices, business development event.
The focus on protection solutions includes life, property & casualty, LTC, health, and related products.
Now Featuring! Tailored Breakout Sessions to Maximize Your Impact – Join specialized tracks designed for your business focus: one dedicated to Life, Health and LTC professionals, and another for experts in Property & Casualty, Commercial and Specialty Lines. Get insights that matter to your segment, connect with peers who speak your language, and walk away with actionable strategies.
