As part of our ongoing effort to return to the in-person model of providing continuing education, the instructors at Sovos Booke are on the move yet again this year. Your next chance to join us is coming up in September so read on to see how we expect the week to play out.

Westward ho!

In June, we met in Arlington, Virginia to bring you in-person continuing education opportunities. This September, we are traveling west to the Bay Area, home of the Golden Gate Bridge – San Francisco!

This conference center event will take place at 780 Mission Street, which is within walking distance of the Theater District and Union Square neighborhoods. A light breakfast will be provided every morning. We will also provide lunch on the first day of each class and then allow you to venture into the city on other days to enjoy all the different dining options.

The conference center and various hotels are all easily accessible via the San Francisco (SFO) or Oakland (OAK) International Airports. The nearest BART station is about a block and half away with even more tram stops in the vicinity. Check the conference center website for possible hotel deals.

We are offering a variety of classes for insurance professionals at all stages of their career.
