Welcome to the Insurance Careers Movement. Join and help inspire more people to choose insurance as a stable, rewarding and limitless career

More than 1,000 global industry organizations have come together in support of the Insurance Careers Movement, a grassroots initiative that seeks to inspire more people to choose insurance as a career and to collaborate to retain rising stars in insurance.

Nominations are open for the 2025 Class of Emerging Leaders!

In 2025, the insurance industry will celebrate the tenth anniversary of February Insurance Careers Month and the seventh annual Emerging Leaders Conference. With continued robust insurance executive leadership and company support, the 2025 Emerging Leaders Conference will inspire and develop stellar insurance rising stars.

Talent continues to be a top priority for executives as the industry faces a looming exodus of approximately 400,000 retiring insurance professionals over the next several years, per the U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics. Pressure continues as the finance and insurance industry sector shows an estimated 515,000 job openings. Thus, engaging, developing, and recognizing rising stars is a critical element of talent strategy plans.

Hosted by the Insurance Careers Movement, the American Property Casualty Insurance Association, and AM Best, the Emerging Leaders Conference can help your top talent develop professionally and personally. If selected for the 2025 Class of Emerging Leaders, they will join a cohort of the industry’s best and brightest, learn from insurance executives, network with industry leaders, and return to your company with renewed enthusiasm, energy, and ideas.

The 2025 Emerging Leaders Conference will be held Sunday, February 2 through Tuesday, February 4 at the Marriott Tampa Water Street in Tampa, Florida. The Emerging Leaders Conference is a cornerstone component of February Insurance Careers Month.

To have your rising star(s) considered for this professional development opportunity, submit a nomination today! We encourage you to nominate at least two and up to six rising stars and talent from any discipline is welcome for consideration. We encourage multiple nominations as some of the strongest connections made at each year’s event are between Emerging Leaders from the same company. All nominations are due by close of business on October 18, 2024.
