New Orleans, Louisiana, hosted the 2024 Accelerate, powered by NetVU. Accelerate is the largest gathering of Vertafore users and industry professionals across the independent agent channel. In the ever-evolving insurtech landscape, Accelerate 2024 is a pivotal event for many industry professionals, and Ivans®, a leading partner for Vertafore users, was thrilled to contribute to Accelerate's excitement and offer valuable resources to attendees.
Here are some of the key highlights that made Accelerate 2024 memorable:
More Carrier Focused Sessions
This year's event had more sessions specifically designed for carriers. Ivans, who understands the unique needs of Vertafore users, greatly appreciates this shift to meet the requirements of all attendees. This translates to a stronger emphasis on value and understanding, which aligns with Ivans' commitment to our mission to provide technical and personal connections between agents and carriers.
New Booth Themes
This year, several booths at Accelerate focused on themes like AI for agencies, addressing the talent gap, and other solutions that help agents automate their work, such as automated payments and Robotic Process Automation (RPA). As a dedicated partner, Ivans was excited about these new themes and how we can partner to serve Vertafore users better.
Summing Up Our Experience
We truly benefit from meeting our customers and agency users in person. It was great to see everyone working together to build stronger connections. Plus, we got some fantastic feedback, too. For example, we were stoked to hear so many compliments about Ivan's support team. One agent mentioned that Ivan's team provided the best user and technical support ever! These meetings made us feel genuinely proud of how well we serve Vertafore users.
Team Ivans had a great experience at Accelerate, with attendees showing strong interest and support for our connectivity solutions, including Ivans Download™, Ivans Exchange™ and our Ask Kodiak®integration with ReferenceConnect®. In addition, our webinars with NetVU received positive feedback, highlighting how valuable these offerings are to our Vertafore users. If you want to check out the latest one featuring Ivans Download, it's available to all NetVU members on demand.
We want to thank everyone who dropped by to chat, and we look forward to seeing you in 2025 at Accelerate, powered by NetVU in Charlotte, North Carolina.
