Welcome to the Independent Insurance Agents of Mississippi 116th Annual Convention and Trade Show at the beautiful Sandestin Hilton. Our theme this year is a safari theme - “Go Wild in Destin” - so we’re glad you could swing in for a few days!

We have a wonderful convention planned, which I’m sure you will enjoy. Special thanks to Stephanie, Clinton, Kathy, Lauren, and Convention Chairman Scott Gray, who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes getting ready for this event.

We truly appreciate our sponsors and exhibitors who have made our convention a success. We could not do this without your generous support.

I am honored to have served as your Chairman this year, and I look forward to visiting with you over the next few days.
