First and foremost, the RCCAQ's annual convention is focused on information sharing and discussions between professionals. But it's much more than that!
Each year, the RCCAQ's convention provides a prime opportunity for networking with other brokers and industry stakeholders. It's known for its friendly atmosphere and for the many memorable moments it gives rise to. The participants have such a good time that some of the activities have become "don't miss" events for the whole industry!
This year, the participants will be very well taken care of: the program of activities includes a variety of games and surprises, particularly during the banquet, the insurers evening and the trade show.
The networking event of the year
The RCCAQ's convention is very well attended, not only by broker colleagues, by also by representatives of insurers, suppliers and industry organizations. It's a great opportunity to expand your network as you discuss issues of common concern with other industry experts.
"What's the good of networking if my clients aren't attending?"
Fair enough—but networking between industry professionals is just as important. The most successful people are often those who have built up a vast network. You might just find that your future business partner is among the new contacts you make. Or perhaps someone might send a referral your way? Or you might decide to team up with another firm to develop some shared business interests? Who knows!
Over the medium and long term, it's very likely that the contacts you make at the RCCAQ's convention will be profitable! Please keep the following point in mind: the key to networking is being interested in meeting new people and chatting with them so you can get to know each other a little better.
After the convention, make a point of adding your new contacts on LinkedIn or following them on Twitter if they're active tweeters!
Kick up your heels and have some fun!
Once the serious issues have been discussed, we'll be turning our attention to two social activities that are known for their high-spirited atmosphere. The first night of the convention (Wednesday, Nov. 23) will feature our banquet, during which the Junior Broker of Distinction Award will be presented. A gourmet meal will be served with dancing until the wee small hours to the sounds of Liana Bureau of "The Voice".
Caribbean rhythms
You're also sure to enjoy the Caribbean atmosphere during the insurers evening (Thursday, Nov. 24). Organized around the theme of "Carnival Fiesta", the evening's partner companies will do their best to keep you on the dance floor all night long!
