The Global Conference is planned for August 29 to September 1 in Singapore with the Top of the Table Annual Meeting planned for October 20-23, 2021 on Amelia Island in Florida.<\/p>\n

There are also plans for for elements of the June Annual Meeting to take place in-person in New Orleans, if possible.<\/p>\n

The MDRT announcement notes that if an event is considered unsafe or restricted by governmental or other authorities, MDRT will modify the format of that meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cMDRT looks forward to bringing members together in the coming year whether it be in an in-person or virtual environment,” it says.<\/p>\n

Data-Driven Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n

The association has also developed a data-driven approach to profession-leading production standards for its 2021 membership season.<\/p>\n

It says in a statement that in the face of last year\u2019s business challenges, MDRT has adjusted its 2021 production requirements to ensure equal opportunity for qualified financial services professionals around the globe “while maintaining the association\u2019s ongoing standard of excellence”.<\/p>\n

It has moved to ensure its requirements were adjusted for each country equitably and developed a Covid-19 severity index formula\u00a0 which considers the severity and economic impact of the public health crisis, supply chain effects and projected decreases in consumer demand for each country. Country-specific data was used, \u201c…resulting in a calculated adjustment for each specific country\u201d.<\/p>\n

MDRT President Ian Green<\/strong> says the\u00a0 goal in updating the 2021 requirements \u201c\u2026is to enable advisors to maintain their membership status while they focus on setting their clients up for success as they recover from the past tumultuous year”.<\/p>\n

This methodology allows MDRT to provide flexibility in maintaining a top-tier standard in this difficult and uncertain economic environment, while remaining equitable across global economies, the statement adds.<\/p>\n
