Event Details
The premier event for Blacks and African Americans and allies in insurance and adjacent fields to build relationships, network and gain invaluable industry experience, the NAAIA National Conference includes many specialized spaces and opportunities for attendees to engage together. Participating exhibitors meet career-ready candidates actively or passively looking for their next opportunity, enjoy the opportunity to gain brand awareness and demonstrate their commitment to DEI&B.
NAAIA is thrilled to host the 2025 National Conference in the historic city of Philadelphia, where America’s story began. Known as the “City of Brotherly Love,” Philadelphia is a hub of cultural, historical, and culinary treasures that offer a captivating experience for all who visit.
Our conference is located at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in the heart of Center City, placing you steps away from iconic landmarks that shaped the nation, like the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
Philadelphia is a vibrant blend of old and new, with cobblestone streets leading to modern museums, lively arts districts, and a diverse food scene that will leave your taste buds satisfied. From savoring a classic Philly cheesesteak at Reading Terminal Market to indulging in fine dining at renowned restaurants, this city is a paradise for food lovers. Don’t miss the chance to explore the city’s neighborhoods, from the historic charm of Old City to the artistic vibe of Fishtown.
Join NAAIA in Philadelphia, where the echoes of America’s revolutionary past blend seamlessly with its dynamic present, offering a unique blend of history, innovation, and culture.
