Atlanta, January 28, 2004 – Jon A. Boscia, chairman and chief executive officer of Lincoln Financial Group, will keynote the 2004 Life Insurance Conference, to be held March 29-31 in Las Vegas. Developed as a partnership between four leading trade associations, the Life Insurance Conference is the only industry conference that brings together professionals in product development, distribution, administration and advocacy.

Boscia is renowned for his leadership, and his insights and future vision of the life insurance industry. He will provide innovative ideas that attendees can use in developing effective leadership at their own companies. The Life Insurance Conference is co-sponsored by LOMA, LIMRA International, the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and the American Council of Life Insurers (ACLI).

Launched last year, the conference is a vehicle for industry professionals to examine trends and developments in product management, new markets and distribution, technology, and regulations. This comprehensive meeting will also feature a presentation by Peter Ricchiuti, assistant dean at Tulane University's A.B. Freeman School of Business, who will share his informative and entertaining perspective on the state of today’s financial markets.

"After my experience with the Life Insurance Conference last year, I'm looking forward to this as an annual event," said Steve Phelan, ChFC, assistant vice president of marketing support and development, Western and Southern Life. "It's the only conference that brings all the major areas of the life industry together for learning and networking."
