PIA Education Day 2026! Spend a day with the people who make this industry work.
PIA Education Day & Trade Show is where Minnesota's professional independent agents come to sharpen their skills, see what's new, and trade notes with the agents and vendors who know the market best. Expect good conversation, good food, and a shot at going home with a prize.
You'll leave with CE credit, a few new contacts, and at least one idea you'll want to try the next day. Our sessions this year dig into the coverage issues generating real claims right now — the kind of material that sticks with you on the drive home.
Bring your team. The agencies that get the most out of the day are the ones that send more than one person: split up, meet more people, work the trade show floor, and compare notes on the way back.
Join us at The Park Event Center, Waite Park, MN 56387 (St. Cloud) on September 28 and 29, 2026.
Agents — register by 9/14/26 to be entered in our Early Bird drawing. Winner must be present at the Education Day Early Bird drawing to claim the prize.
