Membership Benefits in ICMG
Strategic alliances are key in today's business world. Joining ICMG will be one of the best decisions you could make. Your business will profit through our highly successful network of contacts but the benefits don't end there. Through ICMG you can...
Meet prospective alliance partners: ICMG is the number one place to meet potential alliance partners in the insurance/financial services marketing arena. Our membership represents hundreds of companies and our annual meeting, newsletter, directory, and online tools provide numerous opportunities to find people in specific parts of the business. Our annual meetings kick off with a big-screen introduction to every other attendee, and the networking that continues throughout the conference is geared to facilitate finding partners.
Connect with current alliance partners: The annual meeting is the one place you can go to meet with many of your existing alliance partners all in one location, saving you time and money. Year-round opportunities are offered through the online Alliance Forum and membership directory. The monthly e-newsletter will keep you connected through new member announcements and moves/job change announcements.
Develop business relationships with other insurance/financial services marketing executives: Over time, relationships built at ICMG meetings can lead to personal and professional development as well as strategic alliances. The collegial atmosphere and networking focus have provided value far beyond alliances for many longtime members.
Gain strategic alliance information: Nowhere else in the industry is there such a wealth of first-hand information and experience related to insurance strategic alliances. ICMG's publications, educational sessions, and networking events are the best source for this information.
Stay on top of what's going on in the industry: Newsletter articles, annual meeting sessions, online seminars, and countless opportunities for open exchange of information with colleagues will help you stay on top of what other companies are doing and what you need to know for your business.
Increase awareness of your company: Annual meeting exhibit and sponsorship opportunities, free classified ads in the exchange, the online Alliance Forum, newsletter articles, and advertising opportunities all can ensure that your company is visible among this elite group.

Membership Dues: $175
Membership is on an individual basis, so each person who plans to attend the meeting, be listed in the directory, and/or use the online Members-Only features needs to pay the annual dues.
Membership dues are nonrefundable (except in cases of ineligibility). Membership may be transferred within the same company.
Dues run on the calendar year. If you join in the fourth quarter, your dues will apply from the time you join through the end of the following calendar year.
Membership (more than) Pays for Itself
Meeting hundreds of people who you already or may want to be forming strategic alliances with - all in one place - will save you time, money, and business trips.
Also, member savings in ICMG advertising alone will pay for your ICMG dues. Opportunities to advertise in the Annual Meeting program, Membership Directory, etc., help place your company's name in front of the most targeted group of decision makers available. Additional visibility is gained through newsletter articles, speaking opportunities, sponsorships, and much more!
