WHAT ATTENDEES ARE SAYING
Hear from past conference attendees
NRRA is the only organization that focuses on RRGs. There are a lot of captive insurance associations but RRG issues are different and require different considerations as matters come up. I decided to come because we have a number of RRG clients and it was an opportunity to reconnect with some people I haven’t seen in person in almost 2 years.
I really enjoy the interactive discussion sessions. There’s so much information available in the collaboration.
I took away concrete ideas and providers for implementing new AI tools at my company.
I enjoyed meeting with various RRG owners and service providers specializing in RRGs.
Great networking.
