“Anyone who is involved in our segment of the marketplace and does not attend the conference is conspicuous by their absence. There is no other place anywhere to network with all facets of our distribution system, retailers, wholesalers, MGA’s, and company markets along with 16 hours of trucking-specific education.”
John Love
MCIEF – Executive Director
The 2022 Annual Conference in Orlando combines opportunities to meet with other insurance professionals while we all keep current on motor carriers’ insurance needs and operations. This year’s educational offering will again be great, featuring an excellent lineup of speakers. At our opening session, attendees will learn about changes from Washington over the past year.
Register early because we are expecting a capacity crowd this year!

our participants said
Research Results from ATRI and the meet and greet session and Supply Chain/Intermodal Operations
I was most excited about seeing so many folks that I haven’t seen in a few years (pre-covid). Otherwise, the ATRI research presentation was one I enjoyed the most.
All the speakers were fantastic and informative.
Networking Learning the complexities of a trucking company
The first session learning from three industry veterans on the state of the transportation market.
The presenters were very knowledgeable about the subjects. I liked the Claim presentation the most as it gave information on how to help avoid the reptilian theory losses.
Each year MCIEF members, Transportation Risk Specialist designees, and other insurance and risk management professionals interested in the transportation industry will have the opportunity to attend and participate in the MCIEF Annual Conference. The conference is designed for individuals wishing to remain current and thereby well-equipped to confidently provide insurance and related services within the ever-changing environment that motor carriers operate.
