Protectors, Powered by NAIFA 2026

November 9-11, 2026 · Las Vegas, NV

Protectors is the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors' annual conference. NAIFA's distinguishing feature among industry bodies is its advocacy work — it maintains a presence in every state legislature as well as in Washington — and the conference reflects that, pairing practice content with a substantial policy and regulatory agenda.

Who attends

Insurance and financial professionals across life, annuity, disability, long-term care and employee benefits, alongside financial advisors whose practices span both insurance and investments, agency leaders, and carrier and distribution partners.

What's on the agenda

• Federal and state legislative and regulatory developments

• Advocacy and the political landscape for insurance-based advice

• Practice growth, referrals and multi-line client relationships

• Product and planning education across protection lines

Why multi-line practices feel the data gap hardest

An advisor selling both insurance and investments runs on two entirely separate technology worlds: carrier portals and agency management systems on one side, custodians and portfolio software on the other, with a CRM in the middle that only ever sees part of the picture. Producing a single view of what a client actually owns usually means someone logging into six systems. That is the specific problem a data layer exists to solve.

Milemarker is the data infrastructure layer for wealth management, connecting 130+ systems across insurance, custodial and advisory technology.
