BOSTON, Feb. 8, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and author, lecturer and consultant Frank W. Abagnale have been confirmed as keynote speakers at the 2006 IASA Annual Educational Conference & Business Show in Boston, June 4-7, 2006.
"IASA is honored to have both Rudy Giuliani and Frank Abagnale keynoting this year's conference," said Joe Pomilia, Executive Director for IASA. "The experiences that both of these extraordinary men plan to share will be of great value to our attendees on both personal and professional levels."
Under former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani's leadership, New York City went from being known as "ungovernable and unmanageable" to an international symbol of urban renaissance. His steady hand and voice during and after the September 11th attack on the World Trade Center earned him the nickname "America's Mayor" and helped steady a shaken city and nation. Through it all, Mr. Giuliani was guided by his core leadership principles, which he will share with IASA Conference attendees.
At a previous IASA Conference, Frank W. Abagnale, whose life is the subject of the hit movie "Catch Me If You Can," discussed his experiences. Returning this year, Mr. Abagnale will deliver a gripping presentation about protecting your company from embezzlement, forgery, counterfeiting, check fraud, and Internet fraud, as well as about the basics of fraud detection and prevention to IASA members within the insurance industry. More than 14,000 financial institutions, corporations and law enforcement agencies use his fraud prevention programs.
Some of the additional benefits industry professionals get with full registration include networking opportunities, technology access to over 200 exhibitors and solution providers in the industry's largest exhibit hall, CPE credits for nearly 70 educational sessions in topic areas important to life/health, property/casualty and reinsurance companies alike. Online registration for the 2006 IASA Annual Educational Conference & Business Show is now available at the IASA website, www.iasa.org.
