NIBA’s 26th Annual Convention will be a truly landmark event when we welcome the insurance industry to the top end of doing business.

In a spectacular location the new Darwin Convention Centre in the seaside heart of Australia’s tropical harbour city is a world-class venue that will appeal to the promotion of your products and services.

The Northern Territory is an exciting and diverse wonderland with varied attractions that will provide delegates with an experience of a lifetime. It’s also a regional centre for energy and minerals with prosperous fi shing, livestock and tourism industries Over the years NIBA has led the way in providing a showcase event that embraces the whole general insurance industry. Most importantly, it offers the most powerful networking available where key players from across the nation gather for the best opportunity to meet with their peers and colleagues, share industry knowledge and see the latest products.

NIBA will be striving to attract more brokers to this year’s event. Given the success of last year’s special promotion, we’ll again be offering big discount incentives to attract even more emerging young professionals and first-timers.

Be assured, your involvement will be valued and worthwhile. We look forward to helping you reach your target market at this year’s NIBA Convention.
