For insurance executives, underwriters, marketers, agents, brokers investment managers, reinsurers, associations and attorneys

Avoid potholes (or pitfalls) that can prevent both veterans and novices from mapping a successful course in urban markets. Whether you’re steering a large sedan or small compact, learn what roads to take and how fast to drive.

Companies with specific urban strategies are laying claim to this growing segment of business. An integrated approach, including underwriting, agents, marketing and law, provides the greatest opportunity for success. Key management personnel from smaller operations can also gain ground by accessing the newest developments and expert advice in urban niche marketing.

Discover how urban market challenges can be turned into profit opportunities, along with other proven strategies to establish strength in this increasingly diverse segment. Companies of all sizes will also learn how to prevent common mistakes in identifying customers and customer needs, developing the right products, and creating dependable delivery systems.

The program builds upon the previous two UIPI national workshops, including an in-depth look at establishing a successful corporate urban marketing team. First time attendees will benefit from the nuts and bolts advice offered.

Leading experts who have helped companies manage their legal risks and develop customer-focused marketing strategies will head up the sessions, which include:
