Port Washington, WI - Ansay & Associates recently attended the Big I Illinois Conference, bringing together insurance professionals to connect, share industry knowledge and learn more about the Illinois insurance market.

Heidi Nienow, Vice President of Integration, and Kash Motlani, Director of Sales, represented Ansay & Associates at the conference. Throughout the event, they connected with carriers and fellow insurance professionals while building new relationships within the Illinois insurance community.

For Ansay & Associates, opportunities like the Big I Illinois Conference are an important part of maintaining a strong understanding of the markets where the agency serves clients. Having boots-on-the-ground knowledge of the Illinois insurance landscape allows the Ansay team to stay connected to the issues and conversations affecting businesses and individuals across the state. That firsthand perspective helps the agency better understand clients’ needs and continue providing informed, locally relevant guidance.

“This event was filled with valuable education and networking opportunities. I enjoyed building new relationships and learning more about the support that the Big I Illinois provides for the Insurance industry,” said Nienow.

The team also had the opportunity to connect with professionals involved in the Rising Insurance Professionals Program (RIPP), which is focused on developing the next generation of insurance industry leaders through hands-on learning, meaningful connections and real-world experiences.

Motlani reflected on the strong sense of community he experienced at the conference.

“It was really reinvigorating to see the depth of knowledge and passion for the industry. In a few short days I left feeling like I was reconnecting with life long friends. Really looking forward to getting more involved and attending next year,” said Motlani.

The conference also gave the Ansay team an opportunity to expand its industry knowledge, including learning more about AI and emerging trends shaping insurance. By staying engaged with carriers, industry organizations and insurance professionals working directly in Illinois, Ansay can bring a deeper understanding of the local market back to its clients. That continued involvement supports Ansay’s commitment to being more than an insurance provider, but a knowledgeable partner that understands the communities and markets its clients operate in.
