ABOUT THE EVENT

Please join us at the Westin Dallas Stonebriar Golf Resort & Spa in Frisco for TABA’s 2023 Fall Conference. We will have some interesting and informative sessions with opportunities for TDI CE credit plus several breakout sessions to choose from. The conference provides a great opportunity for networking with old friends and new contacts you will meet.

SECOND TRACK SESSIONS

TABA is offering second track sessions that will run simultaneously with the main conference. There are sessions designed for those who are looking to increase their knowledge and skills in specific components of the industry. There will also be sessions for those who are just beginning their journey in the self-funding industry and sessions that will appeal to agents and brokers.

We think you will find these sessions and speakers both interesting and very informative. You are welcome to move between the main sessions and second track sessions.

Conference registration rates are $550 for Members and Associate Members and $650 for Non-Members. There is a discounted rate of $475 for additional registrants from the same member company ($525for non-members). Late fees apply to registrations received after July 26th.

Session III B – ETHICS CE: Can AI Help Agents Better Serve Clients?

We’ve all heard a LOT about AI recently. Unfortunately, for most of us, this seems like a development that might be applicable someday, but right now this technology is for “somebody else.” But that’s not necessarily the case – most agents and account managers could benefit from learning about and using Artificial Intelligence RIGHT NOW, and this class will show you how. We’ll discuss the “low hanging fruit” – examples of things we do every day in our jobs that could be made easier by using some of the AI tools that are already available to us. But we’ll also discuss some of the ethical concerns that come with implementing AI – and how to avoid them. CE Provider: ComedyCE.com LLC, provider #37719, course #136325.
