Calgary 2026 Summit FAQ
Dates: June 3-4, 2026
General
What are the ACN Summits?
The 2026 ACN Summit series was created to guide ACN members through the rapidly changing insurance landscape. These regional events gather brokerage leaders, IT/Operations professionals and decision-makers for 1.5 - 2.5 days of in-depth learning and networking focused on the 2026 theme, Navigating the Future of Insurance Together. Each Summit delivers critical insights on critical topics like modernizing agency operations, readiness for future industry shifts, and the adoption of new digital tools to equip brokers with strategies and industry expertise.
Should I attend more than one Summit or send more than one person from my team to attend?
Each of our 2026 Summits will center around the theme of ‘Navigating the Future of Insurance Together, with a focus on emerging technologies to drive measurable operational improvements. While each agenda covers this overarching topic, every Summit offers unique perspectives due to differences in facilitators, speakers, discussion questions, and the diverse knowledge shared by participants. This means that even if the agenda topics look similar, the experience and insights will vary based on who’s in the room. The Calgary Summit in June will be tailored specifically to the Canadian audience and will be the only Canada-based event offered in 2026.
Who are the session presenters?
Sessions are led by industry trailblazers, subject matter experts, and other users like yourself.
