YOUNG AGENTS CONFERENCE EVENT CANCELLATION NOTICE
IIABSC has been closely monitoring the progress of Tropical Storm Debby across South Carolina and Georgia the past 24 hours and has maintained open communication with hotel representatives to monitor local conditions. After careful consideration of the storm's current path and forecast, the number of cancellations received, as well as weighing the risks and uncertainties involved, both the hotel and IIABSC have determined that it is in the best interests and safety of our members and partners to CANCEL the Young Agents Conference this weekend. We also understand that your primary concern as insurance professionals is to be available to help your customers in the aftermath of a major storm.
Those who have not already cancelled their registrations will receive a full refund. If you have a current hotel reservation within our room block at The Desoto, the hotel has informed that they will be cancelling reservations for everyone automatically following this notice and at no penalty.
However, if you wish to keep your reservation for any reason, please email kchambless@thedesotosavannah.com and Grouprooms@thedesotosavannah.com to make that request in writing, and they will reinstate your reservation at the discounted rate.
We will soon be in touch with our Palmetto Partners and additional conference sponsors individually and will keep everyone informed of any additional YA news and/or upcoming opportunities.
We have committed to holding next year's conference again at The DeSoto Hotel in Savannah, Ga. Please save the dates for Aug. 21-23, 2025. We will announce agenda and registration details in the Spring.
Please stay safe! In the meantime, we have created a Hurricane/Tropical Storm Debby resource page (iiabsc.com/debby) with our emergency contact information, which we will update as we receive information and links relating to the storm. As you aid your clients and community in preparing for and recovering from Debby, we urge you to please call on our staff at IIABSC if we can help you in any way before and after the storm.
THANK YOU. STAY SAFE.

Our annual Young Agents Conference focuses on the professional development of the up-and-coming young insurance agents within the state. This conference offers a packed agenda providing agents with relevant industry knowledge, quality tools, best practices and more. IIABSC Palmetto Partners and Company reps have several opportunities to network and get to know the future industry leadership in South Carolina.
