I recently had the opportunity to attend the LIMRA Supplemental Health, DI and LTC Conference in San Diego, and it was an experience that reinforced just how dynamic and promising the supplemental health market has become.
From the moment I arrived, the energy at the conference was palpable. The event brought together insurers, brokers, technology providers, and thought leaders all focused on advancing the supplemental health landscape. For me, it was more than just a chance to walk the exhibit floor—it was an opportunity to connect with clients, prospects, and peers, and to hear firsthand how the industry is evolving.
Key Highlights from the Event
- High-Value Networking:
I had the chance to connect with a wide range of carriers and prospective clients. Many of these organizations are actively exploring supplemental health solutions, and it was exciting to see them equally engaged in the supplemental health space.
- Industry Buzz and Insights:
The conference sessions and informal conversations confirmed a key trend: employers and carriers are doubling down on supplemental health offerings to meet the demand for flexible, employee-centric benefits. This shift is driven by rising healthcare costs, workforce mobility, and the need to create more holistic protection packages for employees.
- Peer Learning and Future Opportunities:
Speaking with other exhibitors and industry experts, I learned about additional opportunities like the LIMRA Supplemental Health Conference in Dallas this September. Events like these are invaluable in helping us spot emerging trends, validate our solutions, and continue building relationships that translate into real business value.
Why These Events Matter
Attending LIMRA/LOMA events isn’t just about being present—it’s about staying ahead of where the market is going. Conversations at this conference underscored how supplemental health is no longer an “optional add-on” but a strategic driver for both carriers and employers.
For Vitech, this means continuing to deliver solutions that help carriers streamline supplemental health administration, reduce operational friction, and enhance the experience for brokers, employers, and members alike. Seeing our current and prospective clients actively engaged in these conversations reaffirms the value and relevance of the work we’re doing in this space.
Looking Ahead
Overall, the San Diego event was an energizing experience and a reminder that our industry is at an inflection point. As carriers expand their supplemental health strategies, the combination of innovative technology and collaborative partnerships will be the key to driving growth and delivering better outcomes for members.
I’m looking forward to continuing these conversations at future LIMRA/LOMA events—starting with Dallas in September—and helping our clients and partners navigate this evolving market with confidence.
