Washington DC - The Washington D.C. Metro Area Chapter of the Community Associations Institute held its annual Conference and Expo this weekend, where property managers, association members, homeowners and vendors convened at the Walter E. Convention Center.
We partner with CAI every year to promote our Condo and HOA Insurance program (CUSP) and engage in thought leadership. While our booth did the promoting, our Vice President participated in a panel discussion about emergency planning for community associations.
CAI was formed as a joint effort between local associations, government agencies and non-profit organizations to inform, educate and provide resources for community associations.
On its 40th Anniversary, the WMCCAI Expo sold out once again with over 2,100 attendees. This year's theme was Welcome to Now; an effort to shed light on the rise of modern technology in property management.
Adhering to the NOW, we unveiled the first smart insurance solution for Condos and HOAs, which combines the best of smart building technology and personalized insurance solutions.
The Annual DC Expo is the largest CAI event in the world.
