As a Claims QA professional, every session within the IQA conference was relevant to my focus. For me, this sets it apart from other conferences in terms of value. I appreciated the round tables, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities; and I certainly look forward to attending again.

Matt Hitchcock

Manager Claims Quality Assessment, Auto-Owners Insurance

The IQA Conference is a great way to meet and hear from professionals that work with all different types of Quality Assurance and Improvement within the insurance industry. I was able to network and get a peek into the workings of small and large, new and mature organizations. The conference has given me and my company new ideas and concepts to bring back and apply to my daily work.
