The Evolution of the BLIS Experience Summit:
A Journey of Innovation and Impact
The BLIS Experience Summit has emerged as a cornerstone event for the insurance industry in Lebanon and the wider region. Over the years, it has evolved from a modest gathering to a significant platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and industry innovation.
BLIS was established back in 2017 in Lebanon, as a dream to bring together life insurance companies and agents under one roof with three different purposes:
- To improve agents’ skills in the market and introduce them to MDRT standards.
- To improve managerial skills of the insurance managers and introduce them to the new leadership practices, to best recruit, train and develop their salesforce.
- To raise public awareness about the importance of life insurance in societies.
Initially, this dream was not taken seriously by the insurance companies due to competition in the sector and the lack of harmony between different cultures. However, the event proved to be a success story over the years.
