In addition to a thought-provoking agenda, CFC Summit attendees are treated to an evening of entertainment and networking with CFC’s expert underwriters representing a broad range of insurance products, as well as a legendary party under the Chicago night sky.

“CFC Summit is a great place for us to connect with our partners, share some ideas, and show our appreciation for the amazing relationships we’ve built,” continued Walsh. ‘We’re looking forward to what will be a one-of-a-kind conference and celebration.”
