We are offering a Friday night event -- NOT TO MISS!

Cocktails, dinner and a private dolphin show!

During the reception, you’ll have cocktails in the presence of sharks from the deep in the Shark Encounter. Get up close and personal while in the safety of an acrylic tunnel that leads you below water level where you will view dozens of sharks and colorful fishes trolling the lagoon. Next, you’ll be escorted to dinner at Manatee Rescue — one of the few places in the world where you can come face-to-face with a manatee. After dinner, the conference attendees will be entertained by a PRIVATE dolphin show! The dolphin show features a spectacular mix of animal behavior and rockin’ music. Highflying bottlenose dolphins and the nation’s only performing pilot whales are in this splashy, high-energy show!

This event requires that tickets be purchased separately. More information will become available once registration materials are finalized.

For questions please call Sara at (312) 988-5752.

Annual Conference

The API Annual Conference offers something for everyone. Whether you are a plan administrator, a legal fund trustee or a legal service provider, there will be a “track” of educational programming designed specifically for you.

  • If you are a veteran API conference regular, you already know of the great program and networking opportunities that are in store for you. That’s why you keep coming back every year!
  • If you are new to legal plans – either a lawyer, marketer or an insurance or HR professional, we have the basic sessions you need to get started, plus a raft of experts floating around for you to talk to. Keep in mind that most of the industry veterans you will meet started out as first time attendees to an API conference!
  • For plan administrators, we have sessions this year on the employee benefit plan marketplace, expanding benefits with a limited budget, technology and provider relations. Plus plenty of networking opportunity for you to meet new providers.
  • For legal plan providers, we have some new substantive sessions on the new bankruptcy act, SCRA cases, advance directives, medicaid asset protection and consumer finance matters, as well as sessions on financial management issues and computer system security.
  • For legal plan trustees, we have our annual ERISA fiduciary responsibility legal update, plus some special sessions on structuring benefits with limited resources and treatment of fund expenses presented by a DOL representative.

Also offered are CLE-accredited educational sessions and planned special networking events. When you combine them with an opportunity to visit the sights and attractions of San Diego, you will see that attending this year's event will be well worth your time and money.
