August 3-6, 2025
Coeur d'Alene Resort, ID
It's our 101st Annual Convention in CDA! We are planning for a great program, continuing education credits, golf tournament, trade show, awards banquet and more!
​
This year's theme is the The Greatest Insurance Show in Idaho. We know the insurance business can feel like a THREE RING CIRCUS sometimes... So this year at convention, we are embracing it and we hope you do, too! You will not want to miss our tradeshow with carnival games and prizes. Also make sure you start working on your favorite circus costume or circus-goer attire for our final banquet on Tuesday night. We will be dressing up and dancing the night away with a cocktail cruise, photo booth, and awards!
Join us at this stunning Idaho resort!

Featured Speaker:
Ciara Gravier
The Bunker | Davie, FL
How Well Packaged is Your Agency?
Ciara Gravier from The Bunker Insurance & Risk Management in Davie, FL, will go over how an agent can package their agency in a modern way to help them be more memorable to their ideal prospects and clients. Having owned two prior agencies, Ciara and her team have made several mistakes when it came to branding that some agents are still making today. She will go over the history of those agencies, the mistakes that were made and show how they’ve built this agency, The Bunker, to be intentionally memorable. You will hear about the four elements that Ciara believes has helped them achieve this. Any agent can replicate this within their agencies or for their own personal brand!
