People in my field sometimes get caught up in what we do and think everyone in the industry should care as much—or more—about a certain issue or event as we do. That's kind of how I approach this week, which is the start of a busy month that includes this week's ACORD LOMA Insurance Systems Forum and early June's IASA Educational Conference and Business Show. Hopefully I can explain why they should be important for you as well.
These two conferences are similar in that they offer many educational opportunities for those who work in insurance IT—and for those like me that cover the industry. These two events also bring together another important part of the insurance IT family: software solutions providers.
There was once a time when the only way for people to get continuing education in such a specific field as insurance IT was to travel to conferences such as these and hope the organizers put together a solid program. Today, companies can have the option of having their employees sit at their desks and take part in programs over the Internet. If you look around hard enough, you can likely find an insurance IT webinar each week of the year.
