Windsor, CT, August 8, 2007 — Ryanair co-founder Kell Ryan will address leaders of major life insurance and financial services companies at LIMRA International's 2007 European Annual Meeting in Istanbul, Turkey on Sept. 10-11, 2007.
"We are delighted that Kell Ryan has agreed to share Ryanair’s extraordinary success story with our members and the key strategies he and his brother implemented that revolutionized and transformed air travel in Europe,” said Phil Green, president and CEO of LIMRA Europe, Africa, and Middle East.
"The European Annual Meeting provides an unmatched forum for access to up-to-date industry information and best practices,” said Bob Kerzner, president and CEO of LIMRA. “Building on last year’s success, LIMRA is pleased to offer another opportunity for our members to hear from senior leaders in our industry who represent the best of our profession and will provide valuable information for all who attend.”
This year's annual meeting theme is "Making the Right Choice," focusing on the future of distribution and customer behavior, as well as acquisition and retention strategies. Key issues that will be addressed at the 2007 European Annual Meeting include segmentation and target marketing, customer retention, cross-selling and up-selling, and multiple distribution.
