Big I Maryland Annual Conference & Showcase - Vendor Registration

We're Back On Kent Island!

This isn’t your typical exhibit hall—it’s a high-energy, coastal connection experience where vendors are the featured ports of call. Attendees will cruise the room with personalized Cruise Passports, engaging with each vendor to collect stamps, insights, and new ideas. With themed decor, interactive setups, and a Chesapeake Bay backdrop, Cruise & Connect offers a fresh, fun, and highly engaging way for vendors to stand out and connect with Maryland’s independent insurance community.
