Craig Weber had some interesting thoughts on the scheduling of insurance technology conferences in a recent post on the Celent blog page. The 2011 ACORD LOMA Insurance Systems Forum began on May 22 and the IASA Educational Conference & Business Show began 14 days later on June 5. No matter how you look at it, that's bad timing.
It's not getting much better in 2012, either. ACORD LOMA is returning to Orlando on May 15 (a mid-week conference) and the IASA event will be in San Diego on June 3. That's a 19-day spread between the two events.
Like Weber, I'd love to see these two major events spread out over months, not weeks. I'll also admit that this is selfish on my part. Our publication puts out daily magazines at each of these conferences, so conference season was an incredibly busy time for me.
