ATLANTA, July 26, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The
Life Insurance Direct Marketing Association (LIDMA) has
announced that its Annual Fall Meeting & Business Showcase will
take place September 25 through September
27, 2015 at the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach, CA. LIDMA is the life
insurance industry's most focused gathering of high performance
direct response marketers, producers, underwriters and vendors who
are driving positive changes in the distribution of life insurance
in order to benefit middle market consumers.
"Because the direct response channel in life insurance is
exciting, innovating and growing, we've adopted the theme Blue
Water Sailing to honor the enormous opportunities that lie ahead,"
remarked LIDMA president Byron
Udell. "The movers and shakers of this sector will all
be at The Balboa Bay Resort on September
25 and you should, too."
Underwriters, producers and vendors who are interested in the
direct marketing of life insurance are invited to attend.
"Headlining our list of industry experts is Keynote Speaker
Robin Raina, Chairman, President and
CEO of fast-growing insurance technology powerhouse, EBIX.
Robin's perspective will delight our members as he describes how be
built an international insurance tech business valued at
$1.6 billion and came to provide
software services that power more than 300,000 insurance agencies,"
Udell continued. "Robin's talk will also provide interesting
insights into how EBIX is taking a leadership position in the
industry to penetrate the mid-market through a variety of
distribution channels including direct-to-consumer."
Attendance at the LIDMA Balboa Bay Resort Fall Meeting &
Showcase is available only to LIDMA members. Udell continued,
"We've made it especially attractive for life insurers, banks and
financial institutions who are eyeing this space to attend,
offering discounted annual membership fees for first-time producers
at the low cost of $495, which

More and more life insurance buyers are becoming self-directed
and using direct response channels as their preferred method of
purchasing life insurance. Recent trends in the
direct-to-consumer sector have recently seen accelerated interest
from big box stores, electronic retailers, search engine companies,
banks, credit unions and other non-traditional companies that
command vast audiences. LIDMA is the primary organization
dedicated to supporting business and professionals who are active
in this new and rapidly expanding channel.
The agenda for this year's event includes industry panel
discussions, detailed "State of the Industry" address, updates on
the evolution of the LIDMA E-Process and Process Improvement
