Saddle Up and Forge New Trails in the Intelligent Insurance Era
We’re excited to announce the 2026 Enterprise Advisory Council Annual Summit, set to take place in the stunning surroundings of Middleburg, Virginia!
At Applied Systems and Ivans, we’ve created our Enterprise Advisory Councils to be exclusive, invitation-only groups of executive leaders representing the most strategic and innovative insurance agencies and carriers from across North America. Our annual Summits provide a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, share experiences, discuss market trends, gain insights into our product roadmaps, and, most importantly, shape the future of the Applied and Ivans platform and solution offerings.
Attendees can once again look forward to specialized sessions led by the respective company’s executives and product leaders to make sure content feels personalized and relevant. As we continue promoting stronger collaboration and networking across our industry, the agenda will feature sessions where we come together as a large group to discuss the distributions most pressing opportunities. Beyond the formal sessions, all group activities and events will bring together carriers and agents to drive meaningful connections and partnerships.
We look forward to building upon the success of our 2025 Summit in Sonoma and hope to see you in the pristine Virginia countryside!
