ABOUT THE EVENT

TABA’s Spring Educaional Conference will be an online event, and we think you’ll be excited about what we have planned. We are offering courses that are approved for TDI CE Credit as well as sessions on Texas Legislative Issues and a panel discussion on the challenges of implementing the price transparency requirements outlined in the “No Surprises Act”.

WHO’S INVITED?

Everyone! Because this event is being hosted virtually, agents from across the state of Texas are invited. You do not have to be a TABA member to attend, and much of the content will be beneficial for any licensed agent, not just benefit administrators. We hope you can join us.

WHAT’S THE COST?

The two-day event is just $149 for the first attendee and $119 for each additional registration from the same company. (If your company still has a credit from the 2020 conference, you can apply it to this conference for any attendees.)

Don't miss this opportunity!
