"Roadmap to e-Success" at
HIGH-TECC 2008
July 20-23 in Vail, Colorado
…the industry’s most unique event for agency and company insurance professionals.

Different generations of consumers (both commercial and personal) are increasingly adept at finding information using search engines, are resistant to obvious attempts at generalized pitches, and overall, have access to millions of companies through as many Internet sites. Where are independent agents when the search is for insurance products?

HIGH-TECC explores how different generations view and use the Internet, how agents and their business partners can take advantage of Internet technologies to both sell and service, how to understand and use search engine optimization to reach out to prospects, how to use micro sites to sell, what you need to do to make your agency website relevant, and much more. Participants learn the secrets successful agents are using to harness the Internet to bring in new clients and keep the ones they have.

The premier event for insurance professionals Hosted and presented by The Automated Agency Report, Inc.

Why HIGH-TECC?

HIGH-TECC is not just for your IT staff and “techies," it is specifically designed for agency owners, managers, and staff who need to plan for the future and acquire a better understanding of what technology is available to help them. It brings together a wide cross-section of people from the industry -- agents, agency owners and managers, company reps, vendors, technology specialists, industry consultants, and user group and association leaders. In fact, that's one reason why so many attendees keep coming back. Each session is designed to promote active interaction with everyone participating and exchanging ideas face-to-face.

HIGH-TECC was originally called 'The Executive Computer Camp' (TECC) and is designed to help agency owners and mangers better understand the technology currently available and gain insight on where it is heading in the future so they know how to plan. Each year it has been held 'high' in the Colorado Mountains. Thus HIGH-TECC.

At HIGH-TECC you will be able to:

- Hear authoritative and unbiased information, analysis and commentary on the up-to-the-moment insurance technology developments that affect the independent agency.

- Network with some of the industries top executives and thinkers.

- Get real world solutions to help prepare you for the future and help solve your agency technology problems.

"This year's HIGH-TECC was amazing! I could not have asked for a better first business conference experience. With helpful and informed presenters, the time flew by. Also, the people I had a chance to meet and talk with were friendly and eclectic. I look forward to next year's HIGH-TECC!"
Rikki Lee Concannon, Seubert & Associates, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA

"The pace is intense but the information shared and the relationships created are invaluable. If you are interested in growing your firm and creating a stronger bottom line, this is the conference to attend."
Paul Lunetta, Harden & Associates, Inc., Jacksonville, FL

"Another great HIGH-TECC. I think this is the premiere event for the insurance industry. I've been to 3 HIGH-TECCs and each year I come back and implement at least one spectacular idea/plan that was learned at HIGH-TECC."
Rob Ferrari Dobson-McOmber Agency, Inc., Ann Arbor, MI

"I have gone to several vendor conferences, but they are all obviously biased. This was a setting where I was able to hear honest opinions from other agencies, vendors and companies. It was great talking with people who have the same issues as we do and discuss possible solutions in the future. Thanks."
Shane Davis, Sky Insurance, Maumee, OH

"High-TECC provides a great opportunity to learn about the latest developments with agency technology and to have the chance to share experiences with fellow agents and company and industry representatives."
Jeff Yates, Executive Directory, IIABA’s Agents Council for Technology (ACT)

"It is by far the best place to learn about what the key people in the industry are thinking and dreaming. If you are responsible for technology, you need to be at HIGH-TECC."
Ben Gorrell, Rich & Cartmill, Inc., Tulsa, OK
