How does an insurance broker maintain know-how and necessary networks? One important way is to participate in various industry conferences and other events. Firstbrokers often has representatives at insurance and employee benefit events around the world.

At the end of May, Kristina Kreisberg participated in the 2024 IBIS Academy conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The IBIS Academy is the most important annual event for employee administration and global employee benefits and mobility professionals. The multi-day conference offers numerous training opportunities as well as excellent opportunities to network with colleagues from many countries.

IBIS Academy cooperates with industry leaders, and the event creates a community of excellence and knowledge. The participants get access to the latest trends in the field and create important relationships and thus get a good starting point to prepare for the challenges of the future. There is a suitable program for everyone.

IBIS stands for International Benefits Information Service, and conferences have been held under that name since 1971. The purpose was already at that time to discuss the issues of the global employee benefits sector and to increase awareness of the sector. In the early stages, HR professionals were also trained, which led to the birth of the IBIS Institute. In 2007, IBIS Conference and IBIS Institute were combined into an event called IBIS Academy.

Today, IBIS Academy is the longest-standing and also the most prestigious international conference for professionals in global employee management and international employee benefits.
