Broker Extra and Brella

While right now it is not possible to hold in person events as we have in the past at Broker Expo – however, that doesn’t mean that you need to put your event strategy on hold. Insurance Age can still offer you the opportunity to create leads, drive thought leadership and raise brand awareness through Broker Extra!

Just like an in person event, Broker Extra is built around an editorially-led agenda with industry leading live keynote speakers, panel sessions, live Q&A, polling and much more.

Broker Extra Virtual Expo

Why sponsor a virtual event

  • Be seen and stay front of mind with key industry decision makers

  • Meet and network – we will provide the platform for face to face connections with senior decision makers through our AI powered smart matchmaking tool

  • Be heard – distribute intelligence and content through your virtual booth

  • Expanded reach – It is easier for delegates to hop onto a computer than travel to an event. With this in mind we are seeing more delegates attend from single institutions and in some cases, the audience is made up of 75% of delegates who have not attended one of our in person event before – guaranteeing that you will meet new leads and contacts

Our Virtual Platform

We have partnered with one of the worlds leading virtual event platforms, Brella:

AI powered matchmaking
Ability to book face to face video meetings
Sponsor booths with content, staff, chat and video meeting function
Live and interactive content
On demand content

AI Powered Matchmaking

Brella includes an AI powered matchmaking tool that uses a smart algorithm to search attendees and suggest delegates that you will want to meet and who will want to meet you based on a shared set of interests (see the How to Guide for more details on how this works)

  • On signing into Brella for the event, delegates will select their key interests and objectives for attending the event from a set list

  • Brella will then recommend the most useful connections for you to review and send meeting requests to

  • You are also able to filter and search the entire delegate database to search out the most relevant leads for your business

Matchmaking Success

Just like at in person event, the key to success is to research the attendee list in the days leading up to the event and to send meeting requests before the event starts.

You will have access to Brella 3 – 5 days before the start of the event, it is key that you use this time to research and set up meetings.

Brella analytics show that sponsors who send meeting requests before the event have over 100% more meetings than those that leave it until the day the event starts.
